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.

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.

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.
