Synopsis

The isolated cottage on the remote Hebridean island of Moila seemed like an ideal away-from-it-all retreat for writer Rose Fenemore, a place where she could work in peace, and where her brother Crispin could walk, fish and photograph the birds and wildlife. But it is not easy to escape the world and its troubles. Crispin's arrival is delayed, and Rose, on her own in the lonely cottage, has to cope with two very different men who come in from the sea on a night of summer storm.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Lady Stewart's writing is illuminated by her evident affection for the Western Scottish landscape . . . a rattling good yarn (Sunday Telegraph)

A sunset touch . . . a gentle love story . . . a happy return (The Times)

A beautifully written, atmospheric story (Birmingham Post)

She set the bench mark for pace, suspense and romance - with a great dollop of escapism as the icing (Elizabeth Buchan)

A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I'd rather read her than most other authors. (Harriet Evans)
