A long romance that begins with an English hero sick in mind, a country rector with a romance of his own, and a puzzle that the bewildered Crispin cannot solve. The story moves from England to the Greek Cyclades, where a stranded yacht rusts in calm water and the island of the title becomes the stage for love and adventure.
An unusual departure from the author of The Mystery of a Hansom Cab, for readers who like their Victorian romance with Mediterranean scenery. Download the free EPUB.
