Quatrième de couverture

'It was beauty more than naked; beauty pared to the bone'

Lanzarote, the wildest and most extraordinary of the Canary Isles.

1879. A wealthy young woman elopes with an impoverished fisherman and vanishes from her home on Lanzarote, never to be heard from again. Nearly a century later, 23-year-old Perdita West, secretary to the famous author Cora Gresham, visits the enchanting little island on a research trip. There she meets Cora's estranged son, Mike, and falls under Lanzarote's spell.

While snorkeling, a landslide traps Perdita in an underwater cave. No one knows where she is, so she can't count on a rescue. And her efforts to save herself will reveal the solution to a century-old mystery...

The Wind off the Small Isles is the sweepingly romantic long-lost novella by beloved author Mary Stewart, finally back in print for the first time in more than four decades.
