THE STORY KEEPER - ANNA MAZZOLA TASCHENBUCH

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 folk and fairy tales of the people and communities around her. It is 1857 and the
Highland Clearances have left devastation and poverty  and a community riven by fear. The
crofters are suspicious and hostile to a stranger  claiming they no longer know their fireside
stories. Then Audrey discovers the body of a young girl washed up on the beach and the crofters
reveal that it is only a matter of weeks since another girl disappeared. They believe the girls
are the victims of the restless dead: spirits who take the form of birds. Initially  Audrey is
sure the girls are being abducted  but as events accumulate she begins to wonder if something
else is at work. Something which may be linked to the death of her own mother  many years
before.
