Description
A classic tale of love, intrigue, adventure and the natural world, set on a beautiful isolated Hebridean island, by beloved novelist Mary Stewart.
When Rose Fenemore takes a desperately needed holiday to an isolated cottage on the Scottish island of Moila she doesn't expect much in the way of adventure - just a few quiet weeks of writing, walking and bird-watching. And then, late one night during a wild storm, two young men appear in her doorway, seeking shelter from the wind and rain. Neither man is quite who he claims, and the question of whom to trust will put Rose in grave peril....
The stormy petrels. The fragile, tiny black birds, nocturnal and solitary, that come ashore to nest but spend most of the lives flying close above the sea waves, come storm or shine.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I'd rather read her than most other authors." (Harriet Evans)

A Delightful Snapshot of the Mid Century Hebrides
A pleasant nature jaunt on one Scotland’s wild, rocky islands with a tiny bit of mystery thrown in. It’s a nice, relaxing story. Excellent narration!!

Not my favorite Mary Stewart
Mary Stewart's stand alone books are favorites. I like Wildings and Rose Cottage better than this title. This story wasn't as fun to read.

Worth the time
It probably was slightly undeveloped as her usual stories go but it was lovely and evocative.

A Gentle Tale
A very lovely story, beautifully read by Eilidh Beaton, with very nice descriptions of the places and animals in the Hebrides. I always love how Mary Stewart talks bout the animals. There is adventure and mystery here but not much suspense or intensity compared to Mary Stewart’s other stories. Compared to her other Scottish tale, “Wildfire at Midnight” it’s quite calm indeed. Just so you know if this is your first Mary Stewart book that you read. “Wildfire at Midnight” was in the same key as Agatha Christie’s books. This story was more like “The Secret Garden”, full of mystery but not much violence. A very gentle story - I also loved the Cambridge element too! Enjoy!

Simply brilliant
Another thoroughly charming tale from her beloved country and people from a genius of weaving the cosy yarn

Last 1/3 Boring
It was a good enough story but it dragged on the last 1/3 of the book. Good narration though.

Hallmark TV movie material
Mostly nice people inhabit this gentle story levened with the tiniest bit of tension. It would make a nice Hallmark TV or Lifetime Channel movie.
I did make me want to learn more about the Stormy Petrel of the title. It is also known as Wilson's Storm Petrel; Wikipedia concurs with the habits of these remarkable aviators but not that they are rare.

Great easy listen
Loved the detailed description of the Islands, having been there myself years ago in was like returning to a very special place. The story is light in it's plot but no less charming because of it. This will be one I will return to often.

Not the usual intense Mary Stewart
Story: 5 stars
As far as cozy mysteries go, this is a wonderful one. If you are used to Mary Stewart’s more intense novels, this almost won’t feel like the same author. But I feel that this actually qualifies as a different genre from her older books.
That said, it’s well-written and an interesting glimpse into English life pre-cell phones. Some of the colloquial language had me thinking that it is set in the 1960’s or 70’s?
Mary Stewart’s power of description certainly is as enviable as ever. You can visualize the islands easily.
The characters are fully-fleshed out and likable (even the villain!).
Narrator: 5 stars
Ms. Beaton seems, to this admittedly American ear, to do justice the soft accent of the Gaelic people on the island. Her British accent also sounded fine to me. Her male voices are actually quite deep and believable, especially given that her female lead has a higher pitched voice. All the voices, high or low, are well acted and have good expression!
