About this listen

From the critically acclaimed author of Hekla’s Children comes a dark and haunting tale of our world and the next.

After her hand is amputated following a tragic accident, Rachel Cooper suffers vivid nightmares of a woman imprisoned in the trunk of a hollow tree, screaming for help. When she begins to experience phantom sensations of leaves and earth with her missing limb, Rachel is terrified she is going mad. But then another hand takes hers, and the trapped woman is pulled into our world.

This woman has no idea who she is, but Rachel can’t help but think of the mystery of Oak Mary, a female corpse found in a hollow tree and who was never identified. Three urban legends have grown up around the case; was Mary a Nazi spy, a prostitute, or a gypsy witch? Rachel is desperate to learn the truth, but darker forces are at work - for a rule has been broken, and Mary is in a world where she doesn’t belong.

Story was good BUT narrator was terrible and really shouldn't have even bothered trying to do different accents, her "Scottish" accent was a mixture of West country with Irish hints, her German accent was dire and she got muddled with whose accent was which! Made it very hard to continue listening.

Awful narration!

The story was ok, a good idea and would have filled a few hours; but couldn't finish this due to the narration. The narrator sounded much older and genteel than the main character was meant to be, and really REALLY struggled with accents. The dialogue between Scottish and Irish characters is what made me call it quits.

Story was a good idea, bizarre narrator choice

Most middle class fiction I've ever heard. Afraid the narrator just enhanced that. Couldn't get immersed, not my cup of earl grey dear.
