Mary Grey had come from Canada to the land of her forebears: Northumberland. As she savored the ordered, spare beauty of England’s northern fells, the silence was shattered by the shout of a single name: “Annabel!” And there stood one of the angriest, most threatening young men Mary had ever seen. His name was Connor Winslow, and Mary quickly discovered that he thought she was his cousin—a girl supposedly dead these past eight years. Alive, she would be heiress to an inheritance Connor was determined to have for himself. This remarkably atmospheric novel is one of bestselling-author Mary Stewart’s richest, most tantalizing, and most surprising efforts, proving her a rare master of the genre.

Review
"Throughout the intricacies of plot within plot, Mary Stewart keeps her readers guessing and sustains the suspense . . . This tale spinner is still supreme." —Kirkus Reviews
"This involved novel of impersonation and inheritance reads like Daphne Du Maurier . . . The author's easy narrative style, her vivid descriptions of the Northumberland countryside, the sharp delineation of her characters, and her impeccable good taste guarantee satisfaction to fans of the genre." —Library Journal
“It’s hard to think of anyone more insistently readable than Mary Stewart; The Ivy Tree is as un-put-downable as any of her previous novels . . . No one writes the damsel-in-distress tale with greater charm or urgency." —The New York Times Book Review
“Perils await every turning page.” —Washington Post
"The story moves with a fine pace of suspense and holds all the elements of a mystery tale. Equally rewarding is Miss Stewart's love for the English countryside and for horses which shines through her polished writing." —New York Herald Tribune

This book was a really great book. It had the perfect classic plot with a great twist. The ending was cool and the charector's were well developed. Mary Stewart is a good auther and a great inspiration.

I am re-reading all the Mary Stewart books - a long-time favourite author of mine. This story is a little different in that her main character does NOT appear to be her typical really likable, admirable young woman of sterling character. I also knew the villan right away which is something I do not like. This put me off a bit. But since this was the last one of Stewart's books was reading, I continued. The story is interesting and is well told. The main character turns out to be a nice person after all. The other Amazon comment about the 'Mary Grey' is incorrect, it is well explained but I dislike ruining the story for someone who has not yet read the book. This book was written in 1961 - too much smoking and a cell phone would have solved a lot of problems but still a very good read.

I liked this book a lot, and according to the other revews, I'm not alone. It was suspenseful with a great plot with a little romance thrown in. My only problem- I guess I'm the only one who didn't understand this- is the relationship between Annabel and Mary Grey... Those of you who have read this will know what I mean, but it went completely over my head. Anyway, it was a great book otherwise and I recommend it to anyone.
