Title: The Story Collector
Author: Evie Woods
Genre: Historical Fiction
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
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.
I really enjoyed this story! Both timelines were engrossing and a bit magical and just made me feel good. Sarah’s story was wonderful, and I loved seeing how she came to accept herself and her place in the world. Anna was just lovely, but so naïve it kind of hurt to watch. Her story didn’t end like I hoped, but I enjoyed it just the same.
Evie Woods is a bestselling author. The Story Collector is her newest novel.

I read The Lost Bookshop, and thought this was a post about that book. And, lo and behold, I find she’s written another book with a similar cover that I need to add to my TBR list! Thank you for sharing, great to hear you enjoyed it!
