Thunder on the Right (Mary Stewart Modern Classic)

by Lady Mary Stewart (Author)

Synopsis

High in the rugged Pyrenees lies the Valley of Storms, where a tiny convent clings to the beautiful, lonely mountainside. Jenny Silver has come to Our Lady of the Valley of Storms in search of her cousin, Gillian, who vanished three weeks before - and whom she's told has died following a terrible car accident. But Jenny has her doubts about the identity of the dead woman, whose grave is decorated with the blue flowers she claimed to love in life...even though Gillian was colour-blind. The lighting stabbed again: the growl and roar of thunder rolled and re-echoed from the mountains and the sword of the lightning stabbed down, and stabbed again, as if searching through the depths of the cringing woods for whatever sheltered there. Thunder on the Right is the third classic novel of romantic suspense by the beloved novelist Mary Stewart, a gripping read which has delighted generations of readers.

Author Bio
Mary Stewart was one of the 20th century's bestselling and best-loved novelists. She was born in Sunderland, County Durham in 1916, but lived for most of her life in Scotland, a source of much inspiration for her writing. Her first novel, Madam, Will You Talk? was published in 1955 and marked the beginning of a long and acclaimed writing career. In 1971 she was awarded the International PEN Association's Frederick Niven Prize for The Crystal Cave, and in 1974 the Scottish Arts Council Award for one of her children's books, Ludo and the Star Horse. She was married to the Scottish geologist Frederick Stewart, and died in 2014.
