This is the 1956 copy and quite old. Front cover is peeled in center and edge are worn. Reading copy only. If you order this title I will expect a book credit. Thanks.
Another Mary Stewart classic set in Greece. From a blurb: "When Lucy comes to Corfu to visit her sister, she is elated to discover that the castello above their villa is being rented to Sir Julian Gale, one of the brightest lights in England's theatrical world. As a minor player in the London theatre herself, Lucy naturally wishes to meet himâthat is, until her sister indicates, with uncharacteristic vagueness, that all is not well with Sir Julian and that his composer son discourages visitors, particularly strangers. Yet Lucy has already encountered Sir Julian's son on the morning of her arrival, in a tempestuous run-in that involved the attempted shooting of a friendly dolphin. First published in 1964, this spirited novel will hold Mary Stewart fans breathless as it uncovers a series of mystifying and frightening events, tinging the otherwise sparkling setting of Corfu with dark hues of violence." This one has a tiny bit of political intrigue in it, and just a little less of her amazing descriptions of the countryside. Stewart usually has the two main characters instantly attracted to each other, very sweet. Aside from the lack of PCs and cell phones, this book feels almost like it could be set in present day.
Like all Mary Stewart's suspensful novels, this combines romance, terror, atmosphere, scenery into a superb mixture of menace and enchantment.
