'A profoundly moving, beautifully written and emotional story' Louise Douglas

A tale as old as time. A spirit that has never rested.

Present day

As a love affair comes to an end, and with it her dreams for her future, artist Selena needs a retreat. The picture-postcard Sloe Cottage in the Somerset village of Ashcombe promises to be the perfect place to forget her problems, and Selena settles into her new home as spring arrives. But it isn’t long before Selena hears the past whispering to her. Sloe Cottage is keeping secrets which refuse to stay hidden.

1682

Grace Cotter longs for nothing more than a husband and family of her own. Content enough with her work on the farm, looking after her father, and learning the secrets of her grandmother Bett’s healing hands, nevertheless Grace still hopes for love. But these are dangerous times for dreamers, and rumours and gossip can be deadly. One mis-move and Grace’s fate looks set…

Separated by three hundred years, two women are drawn together by a home bathed in blood and magic. Grace Cotter’s spirit needs to rest, and only Selena can help her now.

USA Today bestselling author Judy Leigh writing as Elena Collins, brings you this unforgettable, heart-breaking, gripping timeslip novel set in a world when women were hung as witches, and fates could be sealed by a wrong word. Perfect for fans of Barbara Erskine, Diana Gabaldon and Louise Douglas.

I really enjoyed this story and it was expertly read. It's important to know about how women were treated years ago, how they had no rights. My mother couldn't get a credit card in her own name in the 1970s without my father's consent. I like how the story has a woman from the 1600s and a woman from the 2020s have different outcomes from similar situations, it shows how far we have come. * Spoiler alert - don't read this until after you've read the book *: The only thing I would have changed is that I would have had the two main characters actually see each other face to face.

A great portrayal of women then and now

An absolutely captivating listen that I didn’t want to turn off. The back-and-forth between different time periods kept things interesting and hooked me in. The way the timelines of Grace and Selena started to connect made the story even more exciting and powerful. It really brought home the feeling that we’re all connected to those who’ve gone through similar struggles before us. The story of Grace was heart-wrenching, and I couldn’t imagine the helplessness women must have felt back then. The way people—especially other women, men, and so-called religious figures—could manipulate stories for such destructive purposes was truly shocking. I found myself crying, feeling helpless to do anything for Grace. But I really appreciated the strength and perseverance of women that shone through in the end. A deeply emotional and thought-provoking story.


Captivating and heart-wrenching!

Reader doesn’t really try doing different voices, so there’s some confusion in scenes with multiple women speaking. The dialogue is also pretty bad in places, and the story just plods and plods along. Don’t waste your time.

Just… meh.
