Summary
An evocative and charming novel full of secrets and mystery, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lost Bookshop
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.
With a taste for the magical in everyday life, Evie Woods's latest novel is full of ordinary characters with extraordinary tales to tell.
Previously published as The Story Collector by Evie Gaughan.

Loved this book- Everything you need Ireland, history, fairies & a love story.
I absolutely love this book- easy to listen to & a story of finding yourself again & going back to your roots. Everything you need Ireland, history, fairies & a love story.Maybe I’m biased with my Irish ancestry based in west Ireland.

Two time periods intertwining.
I enjoyed this once it got going. Slow start but worth persevering. Narrator did an excellent job of all characters.

Relaxing read.
Liked the mixing of modern day and 1900s. Good characters who I found myself caring about.

Great take of Irish folklore
I really enjoyed this book as I did with the previous book written by Evie Woods. I liked the fact it was set in time eras, in 1911 and 2011 and how the two stories intertwined. I would definitely recommend this.

Good read
Lovely story about the folklore in Ireland. The story made me keep reading right from the start. Not the ending I thought but that’s real life!

mediocre
not alot to say about this book really, some parts were really detailed some not needed more. I wasn't keen on the narration if I'm being honest but understand how difficult it would be to flip from Irish to American accents. I feel the character could have been brought to life and been a bit deeper in their personalities which would in turn make more of a page turner. The concept of Anna's story was great but Sarah's was just a bit dull. saying that I did enjoy it. Evies other book the secret library was better.

I loved the detail that was put in about the surroundings and how the barrater said then and now,as she went from the dairy to the present. A very good read
