Book description
A passionate retelling of a haunting myth, a tragic romance that echoes through the ages.The moment I saw her face.The moment I heard her siren song . . .Salka, the faerie Lady of the Lake, can't help but appear to Owain, a shepherd who has already captured her heart. He needs only to see her to fall deeply in love. But her father has one condition on their marriage: if Owain strikes her three times she must return to the Lake forever. Despite their married bliss, Salka is not like the other inhabitants in this small village. Gossip turns against her and as prejudice and suspicion breed, Owain finds himself wishing his wife was more ordinary, that she tried harder to fit in, that she was less . . . herself.What is more of a strike than to question her very nature? The first heart-blow is struck. And now, desperately, their future lies in his hands . . .Francesca Simon's first novel for an adult readership is an exquisite and tautly moving tragedy told by multiple voices, both a richly woven retelling of an ancient Welsh myth and a thought-provoking drama for our times.

This app's playback controls and features make it a breeze to customize my listening experience. Quick access to chapters is so handy. Navigating through content is a breeze. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldn’t call it unforgettable. A functional audiobook production that met basic requirements. The narrator's voice was pleasant enough to listen to for extended periods, though their performance didn't add much interpretation to the text. The audio engineering was competent without being remarkable.
