9.22.2024 - The Story Collector

The Story Collector by Evie Gaughan

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harper 360 for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful book by Evie Woods – 4 stars!

 

Sarah’s life in NY is falling apart and as she prepares to board a plane to Boston to be with her sister, she suddenly changes her mind and heads to Ireland.  She finds herself in a quaint village and comes across a diary written by Anna, a local young farm girl, over 100 years ago.  Anna had agreed to help an American visitor translate fairy stories from Irish to English, but soon found herself wrapped up in her own tale of fairies and danger. 

 

I really enjoyed The Lost Bookshop by this author, and this book was just as charming and full of magical realism.  The two timelines work together seamlessly, with both women trying to find their way out of grief and pain.
