Synopsis

Rose Fenemore is taking a break from her Cambridge teaching post in an isolated cottage on the island of Moila. One evening, she is shocked to discover an attractive stranger, Ewen Mackay, in her kitchen, who claims to have grown up in the cottage. She is tempted to believe him, when another man seeks shelter from the storm. John Parsons also rouses Rose's skepticism...and more tender feelings as well. And as the truth about the two men unfolds, the stormy petrels, fragile elusive birds who fly close to the waves, come to symbolize Rose's confusion and the mystery of her future....

From AudioFile:

At the end of a trying school term Professor Rose Fenemore needs a retreat. An ad for an "ivory tower" on the remote Scottish island of Moila proves irresistible, and the adventure begins. Talented Isla Blair carries the listener through this captivating tale of mystery and adventure. She captures the Queen's English of the professor and her brother, the clipped Cornish accent of her prize pupil and the Scottish brogue of the island's inhabitants. One can almost hear the cry of the seabirds, the lap of the waves and the hush of the soft breeze as Stewart spins another tale, and Blair brings it to life. B.L.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
