About this listen

Whistling Tor is a place of secrets: a mysterious, wooded hill housing the crumbling fortress belonging to Anluan - a chieftain whose name is spoken throughout the region in tones of revulsion and bitterness. A curse lies over Anluan's family and his people, and the woods themselves hold a perilous force whose every whisper threatens doom.

Then the young scribe Caitrin appears in Anluan's garden, admiring the rare plant known as heart's blood. Retained to sort through entangled family documents, Caitrin brings about unexpected changes in the household, casting a hopeful light against the despairing shadows.

But even as Caitrin brings solace to Anluan, and the promise of something more between them, he remains in thrall to the darkness surrounding Whistling Tor. To free Anluan's burdened soul, Caitrin must unravel the web of sorcery woven by his ancestors before it claims his life - and their love....

I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely fits into the genre of books I personally enjoy. I’ve seen some compare it to beauty and the beast however that’s slightly diminishes the story. The villain is incredibly obvious from the start which is kinda annoying but otherwise the book is amazing

A worthy listen

it was an enjoyable read but not a patch on her Sevenwaters series nor The Well of Shades trilogy. I am sure the narrator is good but her Irish accent didn't seem overly convincing. Best characters was the little girl the dog and the four main ghosts whose names I couldn't announce.

Although it was clearly about magic and curses it lacked the deep .mysticism of the Sevenwaters books and I personally don't like the introduction of Christianity however I am clearly biased and it really is a great read.

overall I enjoyed it

I really enjoyed this! I’m a fan of Juliet Marillier, so was thrilled to see a new audiobook had been released. I know it was written in 1972 but in my opinion it’s one of her best ever.

A wonderful book!
