About this listen
When best-selling author Carrie McClelland visits the windswept ruins of Slains Castle, she is enchanted by the stark and beautiful Scottish landscape. The area is strangely familiar to her but she puts aside her faint sense of unease to begin her new novel, using the castle as her setting, and one of her own ancestors, Sophia, as her heroine.
Then Carrie realizes her writing is taking on a life of its own and the lines between fact and fiction become increasingly blurred. As Sophia's memories draw Carrie more deeply into the intrigue of 1708, she discovers a captivating love story lost in time.
After 300 years, 'Sophia's Secret' must be told.

Beautifully different
A wonderful, intriguing listen that I have no idea why I downloaded as I didn't know what it was about at the time. Now, I like to think it's something to do with this Australian's Scottish heritage which goes nicely with the story! Great story, beautiful turn of phrase and delightfully read.

FABULOUSLY ADDICTIVE
Absolutely loved this book from the minute I started listening to it. Loved all the characters and the storyline. It just flowed from beginning to end. If I was READING the book I don't think I would have been able to put it down. I am now a fan of Susanna Kearsley ! Thank you for such a wonderful story, which enthralled and gripped me.

Fabulous Read
I loved this book. The two narratives running through it were gripping and enchanting. It was a book I wanted to finish to know haw it ended but at the same time I didn't want it to end because it was so good.

Deeply moving + fantastic narrator
This novel is a phenomenal piece of storytelling. Deeply moving, vividly characterised, this behind closed doors romance had mysteries to unveil right up until the last page. The history and language are exceptionally well researched, making for a satisfying listen.
Speaking of which, the narrator is absolutely brilliant and does an impressive job with the voices and accents (American, English, Scottish, Irish, French), even Doric Scots!
If, at first, the historical portion feels like an intrusion to the main story, it won’t for long. The contemporary timeline is a sweet, cosy love story. The historical timeline is a passionate, heart-wrenching tale for the ages. If you decide after the first few chapters that you want to commit to this book, whatever you do, please listen all the way till the end and don’t stop short in the last few chapters. I promise you won’t regret it.
It is hard to overstate the impact this book had on me. This is only the second novel that has ever made me cry, and I lost almost an entire night of sleep with characters whose voices refused to stop ringing in my head. It was totally worth it.

A book that takes you to another place and another time
What a wonderful book. It’s one of those books that truly engages you and transports you to another place.
I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and without giving anything away I can say that some things I just did not see coming!
If you love the subject of historical romance and time travel you will enjoy this book. Scotland setting and history is extra bonus!
The narrator did a brilliant job as well very pleasant to listen to.
