My Brother Michael

Mary Stewart, author of many bestselling novels, has been often compared with the Bront sisters. Her 1960 classic My Brother Michael, with its superb mingling of romance and suspense, its vivid descriptions and overtone of impending disaster, is further evidence that the comparison is richly deserved. Perhaps Camilla Haven unintentionally invoked the gods that afternoon in the crowded Athens caf when she wrote to a friend, Nothing ever happens to me. But a few hours later, an extraordinary train of events had dispatched Camilla to Delphi, to be in the company of a charming but quietly determined Englishman named Simon Lester. Simon told Camilla he had come to the ancient Greek ruins to appease the shade of his brother Michael, killed some fourteen years earlier on Parnassus. From a curious letter Michael had written, Simon believed his brother had stumbled upon something of great importance hidden in the craggy reaches of the mountainside. And then Simon and Camilla learned that they were not alone in their search…

His name was Connor Winslow, and Mary quickly discovered that he thought she was his cousin a girl supposedly dead these past eight years. Alive, she would be heiress to an inheritance Connor was determined to have for himself. This remarkably atmospheric novel is one of bestselling author Mary Stewart s richest, most tantalizing, and most surprising efforts, proving her a rare master of the genre.

The Moon-Spinners

When beautiful Nicola Ferris chose the remote island of Crete for her vacation, all she desired was to experience the ancient and brooding land on her own. But one day her impulse led her on a little used path into the foreboding White Mountains. And there she found a man in hiding for reasons he could not explain. Warned to stay away, Nicola was unable to obey. And before she realized what she had uncovered, she found herself thrust into the midst of an alarming plot in which she would become the prey…

. A story of breathless excitement…
seasoned with spirit and humor.’ Los Angeles Times

This Rough Magic

British actress Lucy Waring believes there is no finer place to be ‘at liberty’ than the sun drenched isle of Corfu, the alleged locale for Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

Then a human corpse is carried ashore on the incoming tide…

Airs Above the Ground

Once again Mary Stewart unfolds a masterpiece of intrigue, terror, and suspense in this headlong paced tale of a young wife’s search for a missing husband…
.

Thorn*yhold

During Gilly Ramsey’s lonely childhood, the occasional brief visits of her mother s cousin were a delight, seeming like visits of a fairy godmother. Years later, when Gilly inherits Thorn*yhold, her house, she discovers that her cousin, with her still room and herbalist practices and her undoubted powers had long been known to the locals as a witch. She is approached by neighbors, some innocent, some not so innocent, but all assuming that she, too, is a witch, and a possible addition to the local coven.
