Stories tucked away on every floor. No. 10 Luckenbooth Close is an archetypal Edinburgh tenement.

The devil’s daughter rows to the shores of Leith in a coffin. The year is 1910 and she has been sent to a tenement building in Edinburgh by her recently deceased father to bear a child for a wealthy man and his fiancée. The harrowing events that follow lead to a curse on the building and its residents – a curse that will last for the rest of the century.

Over nine decades, No. 10 Luckenbooth Close bears witness to emblems of a changing world outside its walls. An infamous madam, a spy, a famous Beat poet, a coal miner who fears daylight, a psychic: these are some of the residents whose lives are plagued by the building’s troubled history in disparate, sometimes chilling ways. The curse creeps up the nine floors and an enraged spirit world swells to the surface, desperate for the true horror of the building’s longest kept secret to be heard.

Luckenbooth is a bold, haunting and dazzlingly unique novel about the stories and secrets we leave behind, and the places that hold them long after we are gone. Contemporary Genre Fiction Horror Kurgu Literary Fiction Romantik Çağdaş Romantizm Korkutucu

A tale through Edinburgh time. Twisty, turny and weird as f. Really enjoyed this work. Would recommend to those looking for a journey into the strange.

Another great story by Jenni.

I’ve listened an hour or two writing this, and write with a heavy heart. The language is polished as you would expect. I’m sure the story and telling made sense to Jenni but it makes no sense to me, I fear. My fault more than the author, perhaps.... I think I might read for myself.

Disappointing I think and regret

I loved the atmosphere of this book. Woman after woman deliciously and dangerously inhabiting Luckenbooth.

While the narration and quality of writing was wonderful (and at times even poetic), there was a tendency to go off into tangents with each character’s thoughts. This was an interesting way of story telling as it follows several characters and time lines surrounding this one area but some of these drag on a bit or don’t really go anywhere. With that said I’m satisfied with the main plot and how it all ends. If you’re looking for something a little outside the box then I’d recommend this, just be warned that while this is an average length for an audiobook, it can feel a lot longer with the pacing.

Beautifully written but a but a bit long winded

The words come for you, let them in because you want the story as a companion. This book lifts time as a talisman. It cleaves across you, showing you how a place can huddle up, how it can be a hand me down. It is written as a winged beast for you to ride and hate dismouning from.

A book that hooks into you.
