Review:

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)
