Synopsis: '[A] sweet tale about the healing power of kindness' Irish Times
In a quiet village in Ireland, a mysterious local myth is about to change everything...
One hundred years ago, Anna, a young farm girl, volunteers to help an intriguing American visitor translate fairy stories from Irish to English. But all is not as it seems and Anna soon finds herself at the heart of a mystery that threatens her very way of life.
In New York in the present day, Sarah Harper boards a plane bound for the West Coast of Ireland. But once there, she finds she has unearthed dark secrets - secrets that tread the line between the everyday and the otherworldly, the seen and the unseen.
With a taste for the magical in everyday life, Evie Woods's latest novel is full of ordinary characters with extraordinary tales to tell.
Praise for The Story Collector:
'An engaging story about unsettled grief...the possibility that magic and the fairies are real is dangled tantalisingly before the reader, but not in a way that might make a sceptic roll their eyes' Historical Novel Society
'Woods weaves a great tale of past, present and that timeless other realm, making for a very satisfying read' Sunday Independent
