As a teenager I devoured Mary Stewart's romantic suspense novels. While I have now outgrown some of her more Gothic and brooding stories, I recently reread "Airs Above the Ground" and found that it had lost none of its charm. The exotic Austrian setting -- with its mountain villages, traveling circus, and Lippizaner stallions -- is enthralling. What makes this story special, though, are the wonderful characters -- drawn here with a light touch, humor, and wonderful chemistry not always in evidence in other Mary Stewart novels. A wonderful read!

A Genre Classic 20 Jun 2005
Format:Paperback
This is the kind of book I can imagine lots of people being sniffy about, cheesily packaged and unashamedly romantic - probably a lot wouldn't even pick it up in the first place. Well that's their loss, but I'd like to get a read-mary-stewart campaign off the ground. She is so good: a deft and clever writer who wears her literary nounce lightly. I adore her stories, her settings and her feisty (but not too feisty!) heroines. No one else is as consistently good: let's hear it for romantic fiction! I've been chastised on the bookwormonthenet blog for offering qualified praise to writers like Mary Stewart and for using phrases like 'pulp fiction' - but no, it is no slur. These are stunning books by a vastly talented writer. I also think film producers ought to be trawling the stewart back catalogue: I can just see Cate Blanchett as the heroine of Airs Above the Ground and the whole sub-plot around the Austrian circus, spies and a lost Lipizzaner stallion would translate fabulously to the wide screen. Go on, someone, do it!

Of the many audiobooks I've listened to, Jane Asher is one of the most impressive readers I've come across. She has read some of my favorite Mary Stewart novels, and her reading of Airs Above the Ground is simply masterful in every respect. She does justice to this wonderful and timeless work of romantic suspense.
