About this listen
In a valley steeped in legend lies an abandoned house where Edens may be lost, found and remade....
The White Valley in the far west of Cornwall cuts deeply through bluebell woods down to the sea. The house above the beach has lain neglected since the war. It comes with a reputation, which is why Mila and her mother, Magda, acquire it so cheaply in the fateful summer of 1954.
Magda plans to restore the house to its former glory: the venue for glittering parties, where the rich and celebrated gathered for bracing walks by day and sumptuous cocktails by night. Mila's ambitions, meanwhile, are much less grand; she dreams of creating a safe haven for herself, and a happy home for her little girl, Janey.
The White Valley comes with a long, eventful history, laced with tall tales. Locals say that a white hare may be seen running through the woods there; to some, she's an ill omen, to others a blessing. Feeling fragile and broken-hearted, Mila is in need of as many blessings as she can get. But will this place provide the fresh start she so desperately needs?

A sense of magic
A feeling of magic but grounded enough to enjoy. The characters keep you guessing & the story is balanced with charm, sadness & shock.

Beautifully magic
I have loved this book in so many ways. It is a story of people who have their own stories, backgrounds and histories entwined with historic and magical land. I finished it in 5 days and when it ended I wanted more.
Spooky in some places to enlightenment in others. If you like witches and pagans and healing with herbs than this book is for you.

Loved this Cornish story
I found it easy to visualise the setting, as I know the area, and I quickly immersed myself into the story.
It was a little predictable, but I loved it

Engaging tale
I chose this as I had previously enjoyed other books by the author. The story did not disappoint at all, but having grown up in the area, the mispronunciation of place names and surnames was distracting. The descriptions of places took me straight back to my childhood with yearning and the interweaving of history, folklore and natural magic made for a satisfying and engaging listen.

Excellent Find!
I bought this book on a whim because it was in the sale and I’m so glad I did, I couldn’t stop listening!
I loved the history and the story itself and also found the characters very likeable.
The narration was excellent, very easy to listen to.
