About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A girl.

A secret.

A life-changing journey.

Born covered in the feathers of a bird and kept hidden in a crumbling house full of secrets, Marea has always known she was different but has never known why. And so to find answers, she goes in search of the father she has never met.

The hunt leads her to the City of Murmurs, a place of mermaids and mystery, where jars of swirling mist are carried through the streets by the broken-hearted.

And Mara will never forget what she learns there.

Feathertide is an enchanting, magical novel perfect for fans of Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus and Katherine Arden's The Bear and the Nightingale.

I enjoyed listening to this story. it was truly magical. if a Story had wings this one would fly. The narration was soothing and gentle, very suited to the storytelling. The story itself was like a fairytale, a coming of age, a discovery and ultimately an acceptance. it was lovely and I enjoyed it.

The sweetest and most gentle narration by Sophie Colquhoun really made this story a lovely gentle listen, almost like waves lapping up on the beach! The story was sweet and enchanting and the characters endearing. I’d be intrigued to read her other book and even more keen to listen to this narrator again.

Enchanting story

the descriptions of places and people were good, however the main characters emotions were over indulged.

okay

I chose this title because I love the unknown, myths and legends and the places one can go in one’s mind and to be totally lost in the thrill of wonderment. A beautiful tale weaved in and out of the elements and its possibilities and adventures.
So delicately narrated by Sophie C that it instantly drew me into its web from which I did not want to escape.
Unfortunately I know not of anyone who shares my passion for all things unexplainable and therefore will keep its magic to myself.

Glorious Fantasia
