This book was delightful. I really enjoyed Charity, the heroine, with her mad driving skills and complete lack of any instinct for self-preservation. David, the 13-year-old boy she befriends, was completely delightful. And the hero, [spoiler] Richard, [/spoiler] was not nearly as appealing as Charit...
Madam, Will You Talk? by Mary Stewart Widowed Charity Selborne had been greatly looking forward to her driving holiday through France with her old friend Louise - long, leisurely days under the hot sun, enjoying the beauty of the parched Provencal landscape. But when Charity arrived at their ho...
I loved the suspense but I just want to smack Mrs. Selbourne for doing some of the stupidest things during the car chase. Its like come on surely you are not that dumb!!! I had to give it one less star because she irritated me so bad!!
Madam, Will You Talk? was Mary Stewart's first novel, and as I had never read Ms. Stewart's books, I figured "first" was a good place to start. I zoomed headlong through my initial reading (almost as fast as Charity sped down those southern French highways and byways in her sporty Riley as she was p...
This was the author’s first published book (1955), and it shows. The writing is not nearly as polished and luminous as in her later novels. Too long descriptions dominate the narrative, making it slow, and the constant reminders that the story will be a tragedy, that there is a murderer on the loose...
Completely predictable but still a fun read. Charity Selbourne is on holiday in Provence, mourning the death of her husband Johnny, who was killed during the war. While out and about, Charity meets a charming 13 year old boy named David and his dog, Rommel; David and his gorgeous stepmother, Loraine...
Very mild spoilers ahead.This was my first experience of Mary Stewart. I gather she was a bit of a phenomenon in the 1970s, but the idea of romantic suspense must not have appealed to me at that time. The incentive to read this particular novel was an extended buddy read and the fact that the novel ...
3.5 starsCharity Selborne is on holiday with a friend in the south of France, but in true Mary Stewart fashion, she's soon mixed up in a potful of mystery and intrigue when she meets a young boy in terror of his murderous father. I've just spent an hour on another review, and I have floors to vacuum...
There were too many coincidences in Madame, Will You Talk for me to give it more than three stars. I also disliked the insta-love. It really annoyed me that he was kissing her and telling her he loved her when they had just met and right after he has chased her around and terrified her for two days....
