The Story Keeper
The Story Keeper | Anna Mazzola
6 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
From the author of THE UNSEEING comes a sizzling, period novel of folk tales, disappearances and injustice set on the Isle of Skye, sure to appeal to readers of Hannah Kent's BURIAL RITES or Beth Underdown's THE WITCH FINDER'S SISTER. 'A wonderful combination of a thrilling mystery and a perfectly depicted period piece' Sunday Mirror Audrey Hart is on the Isle of Skye to collect the word-of-mouth folk tales of the people and communities around her. It is 1857, the Highland Clearances have left devastation and poverty, and the crofters are suspicious and hostile, claiming they no longer know their stories. Then Audrey discovers the body of a young girl washed up on the beach and the crofters tell her that it is only a matter of weeks since another girl has disappeared. They believe the girls are the victims of the spirits of the unforgiven dead. Initially, Audrey is sure the girls are being abducted, but then she is reminded of her own mother, a Skye woman who disappeared in mysterious circumstances. It seems there is a link to be explored, and Audrey may uncover just what her family have been hiding from her all these years.

A beautifully written, imaginative and atmospheric story with an overtone of menace. The descriptions of Skye are so very vivid and dramatic, such a fantastic, moody setting! Plenty of twists and turns in this intriguing and well paced mystery, too, with a cast of complex and interesting characters. Such a page turner! I loved it!

✔ I don't really follow but I read my 2 most anticipated releases so far: The Story Keeper (Anna Mazzola) & Twenty-One Days (Anne Perry). I'm content! ❤

March wrap up! It was a super slow reading month for me. I was busy with moving - packing, unpacking and cleaning. Hopefully I'll be able to get more reading done in April 😄🌹🌻🌿☘🌞

Another beautifully written haunting tale by the talented Anna Mazzola! A multilayered mystery set in 1857 Isle of Skye, where a body of young girl found washed ashore and the disappearances of other young girls led the local to believe they were the works of Sluagh. If you're into folklore stories and enjoy The Good People by Hannah Kent, this is a must read!
