    About this audiobook

    London 1893: When Cora Seaborne and her son Francis reach Essex, rumours spread from further up the estuary that the mythical Essex Serpent, once said to roam the marshes claiming lives, has returned to the coastal parish of Aldwinter. Cora, a keen amateur naturalist is enthralled, convinced that it may be a previously undiscovered species. As she sets out on its trail she meets William Ransome, Aldwinter's vicar. They find themselves inexorably drawn together and torn apart, eventually changing each other's lives in ways entirely unexpected.

    • 5/5
      Phenomenal book.
      I usually prefer straight up fantasy, however the suggestion of fantasy & magic being whispered through this book was spell binding & beautiful.
      A bitter sweet tale , which I enjoyed very much.
    • 5/5
      A wonderful, lyrical tale full of fascinating and curious characters, which I enjoyed so very much. Do recommend!
