My darling little boy Albie adores playing at our new neighbours’ house. And after the terrible year we’ve had, I feel so lucky that we can start over in this perfect place, with new friends who treat Albie like the son they never had. He can’t stop talking about the tree house they’re building him, and the cookies they bake together. But as time passes, something starts to feel wrong. Why don’t they ever open the front door more than a crack? They told me they had no children so who does the small pink tricycle I saw in their hall belong to?

Quite a silly book but I enjoyed it
Reviewed: 30-11-23
This book was fairly silly, more so in the conclusion, and pretty much the whole cast was unlikable, but I was intrigued enough to keep listening. Unfortunately there were three fairly prominent child characters, of 9 and 13 or so, and the narrator gave them all the standard twee five year old voice, though she was okay apart from that.

Great book but look elsewhere for pronunciation
Reviewed: 19-12-22
Great book but the narrator's pronunciation of Welsh words was not great, which is a problem for people not familiar with the language. In fairness to her, she had clearly looked up the basic rules (her Ll and Dd sounds were correct) but I'd recommend looking to the author's YouTube channel for better examples.
Aside from that, it's a lovely, insightful book on a fascinating topic, written by a Welsh woman who grew up steeped in her culture. Well worth a read or listen (maybe both!) for anyone interested in the subject matter. The narrator was good aside from the issue above, too.

Story4 out of 5 stars 235
For centuries, the vineyards at Château Renard have depended on the talent of their vine witches, whose spells help create the world-renowned wine of the Chanceaux Valley. Then the skill of divining harvests fell into ruin when sorcière Elena Boureanu was blindsided by a curse. Now, after breaking the spell that confined her to the shallows of a marshland and weakened her magic, Elena is struggling to return to her former life. And the vineyard she was destined to inherit is now in the possession of a handsome stranger.

Meh
Reviewed: 20-09-21
Good narrator, story meh, weirdly anachronistic, the 'witchcraft' was very new age/neopagan for the setting, and very English/American, to boot.
