When Lucy comes to Corfu to visit her sister, she is elated to discover that the castello above their villa is being rented to Sir Julian Gale, one of the brightest lights in England's theatrical world. As a minor player in the London theatre herself, Lucy naturally wishes to meet him—that is, until her sister indicates, with uncharacteristic vagueness, that all is not well with Sir Julian and that his composer son discourages visitors, particularly strangers. Yet Lucy has already encountered Sir Julian's son on the morning of her arrival, in a tempestuous run-in that involved the attempted shooting of a friendly dolphin. First published in 1964, this spirited novel will hold Mary Stewart fans breathless as it uncovers a series of mystifying and frightening events, tinging the otherwise sparkling setting of Corfu with dark hues of violence.

I first read this novel as a young teen and fifty years later it is still one of my favorites. References to Shakespeare's Tempest also started my love of Shakespeare and live theater.
Elegant writing, great plot, just so you know, it’s not the south of France but Corfu, the Geek isle. Terrific heroine, slightly dated, a wonderful, indulgent read.
And it is so hard to choose a best from her wonderful works! THIS ROUGH MAGIC takes place in Corfu, filled with Greek history, social customs and personalities. There is no one quite like the Greeks. There is a Shakespeare and theatre theme that fits perfectly and enriches a tale that is already rich. The drama never stops and Stewart's humor is at her best. Oh, you want to read this one--it makes me want to book a flight to Corfu this minute!
I read this book many years ago and loved it then. Mary Stewart tells great stories. Though more recent writers have been more succinct with their books, these older, well written books still hold up and enchant me. She was and still is, an inspiration.
Mary Stewart's novels are really enjoyable. They are beautifully written, with engaging, relatable heroines. The Shakespearean Tempest-theme running throughout was an entertaining device. And the island of Corfu was so vividly depicted that it really did feel like taking a mini-vacation--I was sad that it ended so soon!
"This Rough Magic" is the second book I've read by Mary Stewart and I'm a fan! It starts out delightfully a bit slow, helping me to know who all the characters are, then it picks up, and then it was so hard to put down. I loved it all the way through, and learned some about the people of Corfu, too.
I read this book for the first time when I was in high school, a very long time ago. I had been studying Shakespeare at the time and of course, I had to read The Tempest. It stood me well in my freshman college English course. What a legacy you left us all, Lady Mary. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Cate Parke, author
I loved the depictions of the Greeks. The character of Corfu was spot on. It’s a beautiful place with beautiful people. The story was suspenseful. If I have a complaint it’s a small one. I grew somewhat impatient with the amount of time spent on descriptions of every nook and cranny of the landscape. But that is Mary Stewart. I enjoyed the book.

A little dated, but stylish and enjoyable.
Back in the sixties and seventies, I was buying these books as they were being published, and loved them. Some, shabby and with pages brown with age, still live on my bookshelves. I recently reread her Arthurian trilogy - quite superb! - and then this novel came up at a reduced price on Amazon. Perhaps the normal high price of her novels in the kindle format reflect the quality of her writing; the twentieth century certainly produced many excellent writers. This novel is contemporaneous with the time of writing, so the reader is being drawn back to a time when smoking was considered a sociable habit, drinking alcohol in pregnancy wasn't frowned upon, the word 'marvellous' was still in common use and the heroine was chaste. I found myself wondering what genre this and her other novels fell into. There's usually a death, as in this one, but they don't really amount to murder mysteries. There's romance, but they're certainly not romantic novels. In fact, Mrs Stewart didn't do romance well. In this particular novel, a young woman meets a handsome man and it's a case of dislike at first sight. They barely exchange a civil word - even the uncivil ones are well spaced - until they kiss, which is then a lifelong commitment followed by terms of endearment such as 'darling' and 'my love'. Then it struck me. They're adventure stories. Like Enid Blyton for grown ups. Strange to think that, when I was first reading them, this didn't occur to me at all. But I don't mean to belittle them in any way. Mrs Stewart was intelligent and well educated and she wrote with stylish fluency. I intend to make my way through every one of her novels again, and highly recommend them.

This Rough Magic
I first read Mary Stewart's books when I was a teenager. I sneaked them from my grandmother's bookshelves and felt very grown-up. Re-reading them now, I'm not quite sure why I felt so daring as they have no sex or violence in them. They do, however, have lush descriptions, sexy heroes, feisty heroines and lots of nail-biting suspense. This one, unfortunately, was a disappointment and I found it quite hard going. It was originally published in 1964 and the dialogue feels dated. The characters spoke with the same 'voice' and as though they'd stepped out of a Famous Five novel. Usually I love Mary Stewart's heroines, but this one was a bit of an idiot - deliberately putting herself in harm's way just to prove a point. Lucy Waring goes to visit her sister, who has married into the Italian aristocracy and is currently holidaying at her husband's summer residence on Corfu. There are two other houses on the estate - the original castle, now rented by a famous actor, and another villa on the other side of the bay. But Lucy's plans for a relaxing holiday are shattered when she almost gets shot while trying to protect a dolphin, and then a body is washed up on the beach. The story is very much of its time, so I would hesitate to recommend it to a modern audience. I loved Julian (the reclusive actor) and hearing about the island's saint, Spyridon, but I did find all the Shakespeare references a bit wearing. Extra points for the dolphin though! If you've never read Mary Stewart, I'd recommend starting with one of her others first, such as Nine Coaches Waiting, which is one of my favourites.

Well written romance, thriller, corfu guide and it has humour.
Well written romance, thriller, corfu guide. This being my second Mary Stewart book that I have read I was slightly disappointed as this book doesn't have the same powerful verve that My Brother Michael has. However saying that the book still has humour, a very readable style and was very much a page turner. This book has many references to Shakespeare's - The Tempest which may confuse some readers if they haven't read or are familiar with this work. The book also covers Corfu history & cultural attitudes.

Too much happens too slowly
I enjoyed the setting and the main character is well developed. But I did find that the plot was too convoluted and at th same time the pace was was slackened by some overwriting. It's possibly because this was written so long ago. What we're comfortable with now is very different.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Classic Mary Stewart
I first picked up 'madam will you talk?' and really enjoyed it. I have now read quite a few of her books and find them a delight. This one is set in Greece, and makes you feel like you're actually there. What she does with her characters and locations is pure joy. It might come across as a bit dated, but it's a brilliant piece of escapism from yesteryear. If you like her other works, pick this up. You won't be disappointed.

Lady Mary Stewart, born Mary Florence Elinor Rainbow, was a popular English novelist, and taught at the school of John Norquay elementary for 30 to 35 years.
She was one of the most widely read fiction writers of our time. The author of twenty novels, a volume of poetry, and three books for young readers, she was admired for both her contemporary stories of romantic suspense and her historical novels. Born in England, she lived for many years in Scotland, spending time between Edinburgh and the West Highlands. Mary Stewart's legacy as an author is vast. She is considered by many to be the mother of the modern romantic suspense novel. She was among the first to integrate mystery and love story, seamlessly blending the two elements in such a way that each strengthens the other.
