3.0 out of 5 stars A literate thriller romance set in Crete, 2 April 2002
Mary Stewart was writing about her love affair with Greece long before Louis Bernieres. Her more than literate thriller/ romance is set against the backdrop of a beautiful unspoilt Crete, where her modern and fiesty heroine battles aginst some very nasty villains to a highly satisfying conclusion. The Moospinners si a modern classic and a delight to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overdue for rediscovery, 28 Mar 2003
By A. Weston "Adrian Weston" (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Mary Stewart's currently best known for her Arthurian trilogy, which is great, but before that she was a big figure in a genre which is sort of at odds with modern publishing (though there are exceptions). I guess you could call it up-market romance, or thrillers, or literary pulp. Whatever the label, she is a fantastic writer, evocative, suspensful and entertaining. All the romantic/thriller/adventure novels have strong heroines and slightly old-fashioned plots, but more than that they are heavily atmospheric evocations of place - France, Greece, the Lebanon, Scotland. The Moonspinners is one of her Greek novels (along with My Brother Michael and This Rough Magic)and they date back to a period when post-war, post-rationing Britons were rediscovering the warmth and vitality of the mediterranean world. IT sounds weird, but if Elizabeth David had written fiction rather than food/travel/cookery books - they might be like this. They certainly tap into the same vein of heat, dust and exoticism that we have largely forgotten in our package-holiday era. I'd love to spearhead a revival of Mary Stewart's fiction - they'd also make fantastic period films or TV series. Someone snap them up. Having done this rave, I like the Moonspinners a lot but it's not my favourite - i'd go for My Brother Michael as a first choice of the Greek books. But I'd still read this next!

3.0 out of 5 stars This edition is abridged and rewritten, 30 Sep 2008
By Mr. F. L. Dunkin Wedd - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Moonspinners (Oxford Bookworms) (Paperback)
Yes, Mary Stewart's novel is a classic, and a great atmospheric read.

But this edition (Oxford Bookworms - just 80 pages) is 'retold by Diane Mowat' for students of English as a foreign language.

Make sure you know what you are buying!
