About this audiobook

Thirty-eight year old Cassandra is lost, alone and grieving. Her much loved grandmother, Nell, has just died and with her life already shaken by a tragic accident ten years ago, she feels like she has lost everything known and dear to her. But an unexpected and mysterious bequest from Nell turns Cassandra's life upside down and ends up challenging everything she thought she knew about herself and her family. Inheriting a book of dark and intriguing fairytales written by Eliza Makepeace Rutherford – the Victorian authoress who disappeared mysteriously in the early 20th century – as well as a cliff-top cottage on the other side of the world, Cassandra takes her courage in both hands to follow in the footsteps of Nell. On a quest to find out the truth about their history, their family and their past; not knowing that in the process, she will also discover a new life for herself.
