À propos de cet audio

A lost child: On the eve of the first world war, a little girl is found abandoned on a ship to Australia. A mysterious woman called the Authoress had promised to look after her – but the Authoress has disappeared without a trace.

A terrible secret: On the night of her 21st birthday, Nell O'Connor learns a secret that will change her life forever. Decades later, she embarks upon a search for the truth that leads her to the windswept Cornish coast and the strange and beautiful Blackhurst Manor, once owned by the aristocratic Mountrachet family.

A mysterious inheritance: On Nell's death, her granddaughter, Cassandra, comes into an unexpected inheritance. Cliff Cottage and its forgotten garden are notorious among the Cornish locals for the secrets they hold – secrets about the doomed Mountrachet family and their ward Eliza Makepeace, a writer of dark Victorian fairytales. It is here that Cassandra will finally uncover the truth about the family and solve the century-old mystery of a little girl lost.

I’ve read several of Kate Morton’s novels now, and this was one of the most exciting and well written stories! Every storyline was equally interesting, I loved how it was all interconnected, and we got puzzle piece by puzzle piece. Anna Skellern’s narrating was wonderful. Her voice is so pleasing to listen to, and she switches between characters with such ease, from different accents, to genders, to classes. Overall loved this one, and even though it was long, I didn’t want it to end!!

One of Kate Morton’s Best

This is an expertly written novel that weaves a complex storyline spanning three generations and two continents. The stories are linked by an intriguing mystery, fairytales, and the plight of being a woman. The writing is outstanding and the performance excellent. It's a loooooong book and perfect for those that want to sink into something dense. Others might struggle with the number of characters and multiple metaphors. I've been meaning to read it for a long time and am so glad I did.

Excellent Writing

This was a long story, with lots of plot twists to keep it interesting. At first I found it difficult to follow because it quickly jumped between time periods, telling the story from the perspective of different characters, but it soon started to make sense. The narrator was excellent and tackled the different accents and voices with ease.

This is an outstanding story for its plot and how the different time periods are interwoven to slowly reveal the understandings by the end. The characters are believable in their historical contexts, and it was a satisfying story through and through.

Perfect Narration/ Intricate Story/Amazing

Best book I’ve (read/listened to) in a long time! The intricacies between the characters is captivating. Yes, it may appear to be a long story, but it flies by with the way the author weaves the mystery. I’ve read many mystery writers, but they are usually crime and police or detective related. However, this book wraps mystery in an unexpected beautiful imagery tied up with a captivating ribbon. Great read!

Beautifully interwoven characters

This book was so unexpected. Intriguing made me looking forward every day to know what happens next. twists of events are written smartly that at some point I was thinking and reacting exactly like Cassandra every time a piece of the mystery is revealed.
The narrator is simply genius and amazingly talented with the right tone and voice reaction in every situation.
looking forward to more works of the author and the narrator.

Lovely

Jumps back and forth between time lines. Story never fully develops. Many irrelevant parts. Placing story & lack of interesting plot.

Dull, Dull, Dull
