About this listen
A love story of two very real, unusual people, and a novel rich with wonders that shines a radically different light on society's marginal figures.
Stitch by perfect stitch, Andrew Garvie makes exquisite dolls in the finest antique style. Like him, they are diminutive, but graceful, unique, and with surprising depths. Perhaps that's why he answers the enigmatic personal ad in his collector's magazine.
Letter by letter, Bramber Winters reveals more of her strange, sheltered life in an institution on Bodmin Moor, and the terrible events that put her there as a child. Andrew knows what it is to be trapped; and as they knit closer together, he weaves a curious plan to rescue her.
On his journey through the old towns of England he reads the fairy tales of Ewa Chaplin - potent, eldritch stories which, like her lifelike dolls, pluck at the edges of reality and thread their way into his mind. When Andrew and Bramber meet at last, they will have a choice - to remain alone with their painful pasts or break free and, unlike their dolls, come to life.

Odd but Compelling Story
Couldn’t stop listening, although at a few places I wanted to. Great narrator. Will probably be thinking about this eldritch story for awhile.

DISTURBING ADULT CONTENT
Didn't finish it. I would've returned it for a refund had I purchased it. From the first chapter, the story went into disturbing same sex encounters that I don't want to read about. This could've been a good story without the adult content. I'm not a prude. Rape and sexual abuse aren't plot devices. No need to wonder why this was included in my membership. Probably not a novel that will make much money.

CONFUSING AND DISTURBING
I tried to stick with it but I just couldn't make it, gave up halfway through. there are stories within stories and the book is told from three or four different viewpoints. overall boring confusing and there are some very disturbing scenes. Don't waste your time, even though it's free. it was not at all enjoyable. I'm glad I didn't pay money for it or use a credit, but that's several hours of my life I can never get back and scenes in my head that I can never unsee. Alex Wyndham is fabulous as always but the storyline is trash.
