1991"Rose Fenemore is taking a break from her Cambridge teaching post in an isolated cottage on the Hebridean 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." Book
