Stone

De: Finbar Hawkins

Narrado por: Finlay Robertson

A second novel from the bestselling author of Branford Boase-shortlisted and Carnegie-nominated Witch. An engrossing story of fathers and sons, death and grief, and unexpected bonds, new and old, forged by dark and benign magic.
When Sam, grieving the death of his father, finds a silver-flecked stone, ice-cold to the touch, strange and eerie things begin to happen. Myth, legend, magic and witchcraft mingle on the ancient hillside where the chalk white horse has galloped for centuries. Ravens wheel. Wolves prowl. As Halloween draws close, witches dance. Odin gathers brave, fallen warriors to his side.
Only the mysterious new girl, Oona, can heal Sam's heart, revealing tarot secrets with her bewitching ways.©2022 Finbar Hawkins (P)2022 Head of Zeus

Different Cultural Ways

I understood from the summary that the young man’s father had died. But I thought the story was going to be more supernatural than it was. This was a great story. I wished most of us Americans had a more cultural way of dealing with death. My Dad died over 10 years ago. I could share the pain confusion anger with this young man. I really miss my Dad. Listening to this story helped me. The reader enhanced my listening to the story.

Wonderful story about grief and magic

A good story about grief and how we process it. The magical element was wonderful but it’s almost as if it was created by him. I liked that it could be either real or not. I saw another reviewer talk about that too. But ultimately it’s a story about letting go and healing. Love the Irish magic.
