In a quiet village in Ireland, a mysterious local myth is about to change everything…

One hundred years ago, Anna, a young farm girl, volunteers to help an intriguing American visitor translate fairy stories from Irish to English. But all is not as it seems and Anna soon finds herself at the heart of a mystery that threatens her very way of life.

In New York in the present day, Sarah Harper boards a plane bound for the West Coast of Ireland. But once there, she finds she has unearthed dark secrets – secrets that tread the line between the everyday and the otherworldly, the seen and the unseen.

Storytelling at its best

I am in love with this author and her stories. Please bring more of its kind.

Had me guessing. I didn’t want it to end.

I really thought Oren’s grandfather was going to be Anna’s youngest brother but the time was too far apart. The story was a pleasure to listen too albeit frustrating at times. Kept me listening. I would love to hear more books by this author Audible has two.

Engaging Story

The story moves along at a good pace and keeps the listener engaged. Enjoyed learning about the Irish folklore.

Very enjoyable

I love the way she portrayed the far and mourning. I think we all need this story once in and while.

Outstanding!

I can’t wait to see the movie (PLEASE!). I would love to see it on the big screen. Evie Woods is brilliant! Heather O’Sullivan’s narration painted Evie Wood’s masterpiece to perfection! Thank you.
