She can talk to animals and trees-and she is only ever happy when she is walking in the woods. One snowy afternoon, out with her dogs and Apple the pig, Merowdis encounters a blackbird and a fox. As darkness falls, a strange figure enters in their midst-and the path of her life is changed forever.

She writes about magic as if she's actually worked it." -Time magazineAbout the AuthorSusanna Clarke is the author of Piranesi, which won the Women's Prize for Fiction, the Hugo Award-winning Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, and The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories.

The app’s design is sleek and modern. ListenBook is my favorite audiobook player. The voice boost feature is amazing. It makes every word crystal clear. The app is perfect for people who love to listen to books at night. 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.
