Publisher's Summary
Mary Stewart's storytelling is as spellbinding as ever in her 12th novel, a Gothic romance featuring sparkling prose, delightful characterisation and classic intrigue.
The rambling house called Thornyhold is like something out of a fairy tale. Left to Gilly Ramsey by the cousin whose occasional visits brightened her childhood, the cottage, set deep in a wild wood, has come just in time to save her from a bleak future. With its reputation for magic and its resident black cat, Thornyhold offers Gilly more than just a new home. It offers her a chance to start over.
The old house, with its tufts of rosy houseleek and the spreading gilt of the lichens, was beautiful. Even the prisoning hedges were beautiful, protective with their rusty thorns, their bastions of holly and juniper, and at the corners, like towers, their thick columns of yews.
What the critics say
"A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I'd rather read her than most other authors." (Harriet Evans)

my adored childhood favorite author
I loved Mary Stewart's books when I was a kid and I still enjoy them today. I hadn't read this one! before. I'm so glad I found them on audible.

A favourite story
This is one of my favourite books, and delightful to listen to after having read it many times. The audio performance is okay. Takes some getting used to, and isn’t as good when it comes to the male character bits. This book definitely would have benefited from a full cast reading. But still, it’s very enjoyable.
