Her 1960 classic My Brother Michael, with its superb mingling of romance and suspense, its vivid descriptions and overtone of impending disaster, is further evidence that the comparison is richly deserved.

Intrigue, love, and treasure in Delphi! This is only the fourth of Mary Stewart's books I've read, but it's one of my favorites.

EXCELLENT READING
Mary Stewart is a fabulous writer. I love all of her stories and have been rereading them for 45 years. My Brother Michael is one of her best! She is one of the all-time great authors!
