A strange new world awaits Charles and Christy beyond the gates of Dar Ibrahim"Lady Harriet's" ancient, crumbling palace in High Lebanonwhere a physician is always in residence and a handful of Arab servants attends to the odd old woman's every need. But there is a very goodvery sinisterreason why guests are not welcome at Dar Ibrahim.

It was nice revisiting this. Mary Stewart's biggest strength is that she can invoke such a sense of place -- I don't actually have any visual imagination at all, but I can somehow still almost see the places she describes.

The romance is a bit perfunctory in this one -- sort of inevitable, rather than developed at all.

I read on the treadmill but today it was sooo hard to pick what I was going to read, argh. I have trouble sometimes about wanting to finish books (instead of focusing on the process of reading). I ended up going back to... not exactly a favourite, but one I enjoy revisiting. Reading Mary Stewart's romances made me admit I like reading romance!

Lindy When it comes to reading, there‘s no such thing as a guilty pleasure. Read what you like! 🌼 4y
shanaqui @Lindy I quite agree! I gave up on calling anything a guilty pleasure a few years ago, and reading's more fun for it. 4y

This was my first Mary Stewart. I found it ok and agree with fans of Mary Stewart's work. This is not one of her bests. But I liked the setting and the writing was good. Definitely will be reading more of her works. 3 out of 5.

I love finding things in used books. This letter, postmarked 1987, was in the book I bought at the library book sale yesterday. Judging by the handwriting I‘d say the girls were around 9 or 10 years old. Lauren Talan wrote from NJ to Sarah Buchanan in NC. If either of you is a Litten, I‘ve got your letter. 😀

TheBookKeepers That‘s super cool!! 7y

A splendid mystery, set in Lebanon full of twists and turns. An engrossing, wonderfully written thrilling tale. Occasionally quite scary 😱
