The Wind Off the Small Isles

Two enchanting stories from the Queen of the Romantic Mystery

By: Mary Stewart

Narrated by: Susie Riddell

Beloved author Mary Stewart's long-lost novella, now available for the first time in 40 years and perfect for fans of Anya Seton, Daphne du Maurier and Santa Montefiore.

'Now she would spell love her own way...'

In 1879, a wealthy young woman elopes with an impoverished fisherman, leaving her family, who live on the volcanic island of Lanzarote, distraught. In 1968, 23-year-old Perdita West, secretary to the famous author Cora Gresham, visits Lanzarote, the strangest and most wild of the Canary Isles, on a research trip. They meet Cora's estranged son, Mike, and fall in love with the unusual, beautiful little island.

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 Mary Stewart's sweeping, romantic long-lost novella, finally being brought back to print in a beautiful, all new edition for the first time in more than four decades.

A charming little gem, with Mary Stewart’s typically evocative settings, and characters. And exciting action!

Classic Mary Stewart

I am a life long fan of Mary Stewart. This is her at her best when it come to her exquisite descriptions of the places she is taking us to visit along with her charming characters. I always feel better at the end of her books than I did before I began and feel like I’ve seen a little more of our world. Thanks.

Excellent... One of my favorite authors

We all have our favorite autnors. Whether it be the subject matter, the style of writing, or the who done it, the audio book makes it better

Lovely Story!

I enjoyed this short story so much! Susie Russell did a wonderful job narrating the story. I also liked the small mention of characters from “This Rough Magic.” I do wish it was longer, I love long novels but Mary Stewart is always such a delightful storyteller! Enjoy!
