About this listen

Some betrayals echo through the centuries.

Berwick-upon-Tweed, 1461. When Lady Catherine Dancy saves the life of a wounded knight, Guy de Rosel, her fate is sealed. Though they share a powerful connection, Guy’s manipulative brother Hugh discovers her identity and forces her into a loveless political marriage. Trapped in the crumbling de Rosel keep on the Scottish borders, Catherine faces an impossible choice between duty and desire. But Hugh’s cruel ambitions run deeper than she knows, and when betrayal strikes, will the chapel where she sought solace become her tomb?

Present day. Archaeologist Quinn Allenby’s psychic gift has often been a curse, but when she discovers a medieval skeleton and amber rosary beads beneath her husband’s family home, the visions that flood through her are darker than any she’s experienced before. As Quinn’s high-risk pregnancy pushes her to breaking point, she becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about Catherine’s fate. But solving this ancient mystery may cost her everything, including the man she loves…

A devastating story of deadly betrayal, forbidden love and the dangerous power of the past to reshape the present. A binge-worthy listen for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Susanna Kearsley, and Barbara Erskine.

I enjoyed the story but disliked the number of American phrases used by Quinn, which no British person would use (sidewalk, elevator, gurney, etc.), Plus many of the phrasrs use in the 1400's were too modern. I also think the names Quinn and Quinnten are not names a British woman would choose for a baby, again they sounds American.

Great story but...

Loved most of the characters but the child emma need some parental guidance as is growing into a disrespectful , selfish , rude , opinionated child and seems to lack any empathy or concern for anyone . I understand that children this age are self absorbed but mine would never have made demands with the lack of manners, empathy this character portrays and the poor guidance the parents provide - spoils the family sections of this book

Love the combination s

This is a story where Quinn discovers a great deal about her own personal past. The book delves into the past of not only herself but of her husband.

The book does a great job of turning archeology into a story that can be played out. There is never a dull moment and you always want the story to go on.

The narration of the book is great.

This book was provided free of charge withh the expectation of an honest review.

A discovery of a personal nature

The Forsaken by Irina Shapiro is an incredible story. I love the vivid imagery with this book, and find the character of Quinn to be intriguing. This book is two incredible stories woven together like a tapestry. The details are rich and engrossing. I love both the historical story and the current story. This book is part of the Echoes from the Past series and a standalone listen. Wendy Wolfson performs this book perfectly. She adds the right emotions and brings the characters to life. I love how I did not guess the real killer in this book, which is kudos to the author. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this amazing author and narrator.

Incredible!!!!
