Description

An English June in the Roman Wall countryside; the ruin of a beautiful old house standing cheek-by-jowl with the solid, sunlit prosperity of the manor farm - a lovely place, and a rich inheritance for one of the two remaining Winslow heirs. There had been a third, but Annabel Winslow had died four years ago - so when a young woman calling herself Annabel Winslow comes 'home' to Whitescar, Con Winslow and his half-sister Lisa must find out whether she really is who she says she is.

Reviews

The Ivy Tree has the ideal thriller blend of plot, suspense, character drawing and good writing - Daily Express

Mary Stewart harvests a rewarding field. Her credible heroines get caught up in credible adventures; her place is deceptively gentle; her atmosphere perfect - Evening Standard

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
