Beschreibung

Yes, the wind blew still. On the wall of the goat-pen near the cliff 's edge she could see the bougainvillaea tossing, and above the roof the palm-leaves shuffled and clicked like playing cards

Mary Stewart's long-lost novella, now back in print for the first time in 40 years.

1879. Lanzarote. A wealthy young woman elopes with an impoverished fisherman, leaving her family distraught.

1968. Perdita West, secretary to a famous author, visits Lanzarote on a research trip and begins to fall in love with the unusual, beautiful little island. When, while snorkelling, a landslide traps Perdita in an underwater cave, her efforts to save herself will reveal what happened to the ill-fated couple who fell in love at this very spot almost a century ago . . .

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

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