Where Butterflies Wander

A Novel

De: Suzanne Redfearn

Narrado por: Kate Rudd, Vivienne Leheny, Jordan Cobb, Michael Crouch, Jess Nahikian, Joe Knezevich

From the bestselling author of In an Instant comes the moving story of a family grappling with grief and a woman with the power to help them through it—or stand in their way.

After a tragic accident claims the life of one of her children, Marie Egide is desperate to carve out a fresh start for her family. With her husband and their three surviving children, Marie travels to New Hampshire, where she plans to sell a family estate and then, just maybe, they’ll be able to heal from their grief.

Marie’s plans are thwarted when she realizes a war veteran known by locals as “the river witch” is living in a cabin on the property, which she claims was a gift from Marie’s grandfather. If Davina refuses to move on, Marie won’t be able to either.

The two women clash, and battle lines are drawn within Marie’s family and the town as each side fights for what they believe is right, the tension rising until it reaches its breaking point. And the choice is no longer theirs when a force bigger than them all—fate—takes control.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A poignant tale of blame, forgiveness, and the slender threads that weave into the tapestry of life. Redfearn takes her readers from heartbreak to hope, all the way making us see our ties to what’s been lost, and that even the most unlikely people can set us free.”—Gian Sardar, author of When the World Goes Quiet

“A captivating and thoughtful novel about resilience and grace in the face of tragedy. Nestled among memorable characters who will stay with you long after the last page, Suzanne Redfearn explores the lengths we will go to and the secrets we will keep to protect those we love.”—Mansi Shah, author of The Direction of the Wind

“Where Butterflies Wander is a heart-wrenching story about a grieving family and the different ways people cope with grief. Suzanne Redfearn is a master at placing her characters in challenging circumstances where they are forced to make impossible decisions. I stayed up much too late furiously turning pages to find out what would happen. I was so invested in all the characters that I didn’t know whom to root for, wanting everyone to get what they wanted. Davina and the Egide family will stay with me for a long time to come.”—Diane Barnes, author of All We Could Still Have and More Than

Hang on for the ride

The narration on this book is wonderful and I could easily tell who was who. The story is very different from any I have heard heretofore. Prepare for a little laughter, some warm fuzzies, a few cold pricklies and a little bit of weeping.

The performance was the best I have ever heard

This is a nice story, but the narrative was superb I don’t know how she changes her voice for each character and yet none of her voices are annoying.

wonderful read

It was an interesting read with lots of unusual twists. I would definitely recommend it.

I'm hooked

Touching story

This story made my heart ache but my soul happy. Story of overcoming pain and moving forward. Highly recommend!

I loved the storyline!

The narrator/ actress was amazing in portraying the characters in this book. The author wrote a lovely story full of rich/ dynamic characters.

Butterflies

I was lost in the world created by this author. The story was performed well. If you live you suffer loss and sometimes there is comfort maybe real or imagined in beautiful healing nature, even a butterfly.

Great short listen

The story was really good, you really get to know the characters. I would recommend this book.

Unique perspective

I loved that each character told the story from their perspective and that each person had a unique reader. I’ve never listened to a book that did that before, which made it very engaging. The story started off with each person managing their own grief and evolved into the power of family and community to heal you.
