About this listen

'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 found another author that I enjoy. I thought the narrator did a fine job. Easy listening to. The historical heroine was beautifully written. The current day heroine I thought behaved as a twenty something instead of a woman in her late 30 years . I wanted to slap her! However about midway through she matured to where she seemed more of a woman with better insight. Her ghostly roommate will break your heart!

Current day. Historical past. Haunting

This is a beautiful, heart wrenching story. The prose and descriptions are a cornucopia of color and life.

Tales of Time, Pain, and Redemption

This is yet another witch story which strives to inform the reader of all the basic witchy things like unending references to uses of specific herbs, family tradition of healing, blah blah blah....

Tragic, yet sweet. In case you're not a kindred veteran of witch lit, I'll spare details that might be spoilers (although you can literally see them all coming a mile away).

It's going to be so refreshing one of these days, to find good witch lit that assumes you already know all the basics and can get on with a good tale!

Painfully predictable, but with a sweet ending

I’ve recently discovered Ms Collins’ work. They’re so good. This is the second book that I’ve listened to and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. The story brought tears to my eyes and I look forward to another read.

The story is beautiful even if, in my opinion, it starts out quite slow and some characters are not really interesting. The story of the 2 women is surprisingly similar in some aspects but that wasn't necessarily an issue. Overall the narration is great and the story was good enough to keep me listening until the end.

Beautiful Story
