Jennifer Silver, from Oxford, comes to the High Pyrenees to see her half cousin Gillian, now widowed, and has to adjust to Gillian's death when she reaches their rendezvous at the Convent of Our Lady of the Storms. There is more than one mystery- for it is not Gillian who has died and the mountains hold other secrets -- for Jennifer to untangle before her visit and her romance have their ending. Pleasurable.
