Summary
An historian by training, Barbara Erskine is the author of three collections of short stories, and eleven bestselling novels that demonstrate her interest in both history and the supernatural. Lady of Hay, her first novel, has now sold over two million copies worldwide. She lives with her family in an ancient manor house near Colchester, and a cottage near Hay-on-Wye. Erskine returns with this beautiful and haunting tale of dark forces and mystical powers.
In present-day Cambridge, Abi, a recently ordained priest of the Church of England, is appointed to a notoriously difficult parish. The priest in charge is the charismatic but fundamentalist Kier. He objects to her mysticism, her practice of healing in particular. When she sees a vision of a congregation in an old church, Kier accuses her of witchcraft, but Abi soon sees more visions; an entire Roman family history dark with betrayal and a promise of bloody revenge.
With foreboding forces all building up to violence, Abi must battle the approaching terror along with her own personal demons, drawing upon the expertise of Druidry and shamanism from a questionable source….

The ways of Life challenged......
This is my second Barbara Erskine novel.
I'm hooked. I love the way she brings together many of our possible understandings. Let's face it Life is a mystery.

Riveting listening
Having read and enjoyed other books by this author I was delighted to find a title that I hadn't seen before and I was not disappointed. The story held me enthralled and I couldn't wait to pick up my ipod and continue listening. I feel quite lost now that it has come to an end but I can thoroughly recommend this audio book.

excellent listen
This is the first Erskin book I have listened to and I am about to start a second which I hope will be equally as enjoyable. I like Phil Rickman books and this is similar but I enjoyed the two stories running consecutively. It was a book I wanted to listen to until the end and even then I was left wanting more. thus my reason for downloading another book in a similar vein by the same author.

Old Style Barbara Erskine
I have read all Barbara Erskine's long stories, since her first, Lady of Hay, which is one of my all time favourite books. This definitely ranks in her top three. Back to her old style of narrative, quite easy going and relaxing, but a really compelling story (well 2 actually!) I haven't got to the end yet, but am loving listening to this book. Also have to comment on the narrator, I am not normally a fan of female narrators - I don't know why but I just generally find them harder to get used to. Not so with this. A really lovely voice, good subtle voice changes for the different characters and very easy to listen to. A definite 5 star audiobook.

A million stars
As a committed Christian I am truly overwhelmed by this read and listen ..no one actually knows if the savior came here to these islands I know it’s doubtful but through the words of this book he became more real to me .. the feelings that he was a real everyday person blew me away .. ..I know ,I know it’s a story ,it’s a fantasy .. I’m not a loony ( honestly ) but just for that few hours in the book I could imagine what it would have been like to be with him to just sit and talk to him .. ..thank you Barbara . I have read most of your books .. and will go on. Don’t ever underestimate this author . Wonderful

Another brilliant story.
Barbara Erskine is the maestro of the historical novel. I'm going to be so upset when I finish reading her books to date. The books are a great size, meaning I can enjoy each one for up to 3 days solid reading. I can't wait to read the next one.

Good but not that good
I tried to read Barbara Erskines Lady of Hay many years ago but found myself putting it down a lot and then having to re read bits over and over to pick up the thread again
I found this audio book good: I listened to it all but I was not over keen on the narrator. If I,m honest I prefer men narrating I found like the lady of Hay that it just lacked the suspense I had hoped for and whereas I could listen over and over to The Woman In Black by Susan Hill for me this is not a book I would want to listen to again
