Description
This evocative and charming novel, full of secrets and mystery, comes from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lost Bookshop. In a quiet Irish village, 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 into English, but all is not as it seems, and Anna soon finds herself at the centre of a mystery threatening her entire way of life. In the present day, Sarah Harper boards a plane for Ireland’s west coast. Once there, she uncovers dark secrets that tread the line between the everyday and the otherworldly, the seen and the unseen. With its sense of magic in everyday life, the novel follows ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell. Readers describe it as romantic, magical, beautifully written and bewitching, and as a mystical tale of love, loss and Irish folklore told across two timelines, in which the past ripples into the future. Previously published as The Story Collector by Evie Gaughan.
