I was sent this book to review and when  I started to read this book, I wasn't sure  I would be able to  continue after watching and supporting  and care for my husband lose his fight to brain tumors and was hard to read this book.

Reading this book I have come to realise that I have lost too many people to cancer and including my wonderful Mum too, but with that everybody has a different tale to tell. 

This story is not for the faint hearted  and tells a dark tale of a woman experience her loss, death of a child and hitting  rock bottom and we all eventually live again.

Fate has a different card to be dealt for Masha when she encounters who other people....

In walks Kitty Muriel a fabulous seventy old woman that changes , Masha way of thinking, Kitty has many usual pursuits in her life with her Sally red shoes.

The Story Keeper by Anna Mazzola

This is not my normal gene for reading but from a couple of pages in I was hooked on Audrey Story.

Audrey arrives on Skye in 1857 looking for answers to her Mothers death and securing a job helping an elderly lady collect local folk stories, which co inside with her Mothers journal .

Skye in the 1800's is a harsh and very dark environment, Folk stories full of malicious fairies not (Tinkerbell).

Girls start to go missing another found drowned. The locals start to blame the fairies and events  are happening to displease them.

But Audrey thinks there is more human involvement  in the girls. Audrey finds the more she digs the more she is blocked out at every turn and when she starts to ask question's  to get clarity.

The author brings caution to the 1800's from the Isle of Skye.

This is a wonderful tale, had me , this book will not disappoint there are so many twist and turns you wont to put it down.
