Description

The Wind Off the Small Isles and The Lost One, a long-lost novella by Mary Stewart, is now available in paperback for the first time in 40 years. This sweeping tale is accompanied by a recently rediscovered short story, 'The Lost One'.

Set against the beautiful backdrop of Lanzarote, the story follows a young woman who elopes with a poor fisherman, leaving her family heartbroken. Years later, a secretary to a famous author visits the island on a research trip and finds herself falling in love with its unique charm. When a snorkelling accident traps her in an underwater cave, her efforts to save herself reveal the secrets of a long-lost couple who fell in love on the same island.

The novella is accompanied by 'The Lost One', a short story first published in Woman's Journal in 1960, set against the unfenced country and dark winding valleys of the night. Mary Stewart's writing is known for its style, suspense, and romance, making this a compelling read for fans of the genre.
