Summary
A dazzling mixture of crime, romance, magic and myth from the acclaimed author of The Psychology of Time Travel.
The Kendrick family has been making world-famous dolls since the early 1800s. But their dolls aren't coveted for the craftmanship alone. Each one has a specific emotion laid on it by its creator. A magic that can make you feel bucolic bliss or consuming paranoia at a single touch. Though founded by sisters, now only men may know the secrets of the workshop.
Persephone Kendrick longs to break tradition and learn the family craft, and when a handsome stranger arrives claiming doll-making talent and a blood tie to the Kendricks, she sees a chance to grasp all she desires.
But then, one night, the family's most valuable doll is stolen. Only someone with knowledge of magic could have taken her. Only a Kendrick could have committed this crime....

Magical
Beautifully read by Olivia Vinall. I really enjoyed the unusual topic and content.
A magical story that fully absorbed me. I was a little bit disoriented to the time and place but the eerie quality of the book meant that didn't matter.
I wanted to be there, to visit the factory and touch the dolls. The language of the book was exquisite.
The only part I didn't enjoy was the sexual content. (That could be my own awkwardness at hearing it narrated.)
I felt a little bit dissatisfied with the ending but I still highly recommend experiencing the beauty of this story.

Exceptional, unique & spellbinding
A very different listen. Chilling, sad & an interesting way to tell a tale of change. Quite relevant to our times. A definite for listening again.

Engaging but maybe lacked a little
I really enjoyed this book & listened on audible in just 3 days. I just finished it feeling a little bit unresolved? Wanting more? I’m not really sure. Once again this book ticked a lot of boxes for me, slight magical element to a “real world” story. I liked characters and the dynamics between them. Overall a quick listen (read) that I really enjoyed.

An interesting take on a magical tale.
I initially chose this book as I had previously read the psychology of time travel which I really enjoyed.
I wasn't expecting the story that I got but it was a very good blend of magic, history, present day and a little bit of love thrown in too.

Utterly Absorbing
Amazing narration and utterly absorbing. I felt like I was living every moment. each character felt real with flaws, ambition and yearning.
