The Book of Lost Enchantments

De: Jessica Dodge

Narrado por: Samantha Norbury, Hannah Hedley

At twenty-nine, Nora Cameron's life feels adrift, her days are spent working in her parents’ bakery, and her nights are spent alone watching Hallmark movies. She yearns for something beyond her predictable existence, though she has no idea what that might be. That is, until fate intervenes, and Nora is swept into an unforeseen adventure to Scotland.

Guided by her grandmother’s cherished photo album from the 1940s, which documents her time spent as a medic-nurse in Scotland during World War II, Nora stumbles upon a mysterious old bookstore in Edinburgh. There, amidst the smell of old books and shelves lined with relics of forgotten lore, Nora's eyes fall upon a peculiar little red book. As she delves into its pages, strange and unexplainable events unfold, including a sudden snowstorm that strands her in the Highlands with a handsome but surly journalist named Alistair.

Snowed in and at odds with one another, Nora and Alistair struggle to get along. With little else to do but tend the fire, Nora immerses herself in the red book’s tale of a young woman from centuries past, on a quest to save her grandmother and resist the pull she feels toward a dashing but aloof son of a Scottish Duke.

As the days pass, stranded in the cabin, Nora discovers a box of letters with an eerie connection to her grandmother’s past, uncovering a family secret buried deep in time. As the weather worsens and their supplies dwindle, bizarre events begin to escalate.

With Alistair’s help, Nora starts to unravel the mystery, but what she uncovers not only threatens to fracture her idea of reality but may place her and Alistair in mortal danger.

A beautiful and magical tale

A story of mystical books, bookstores, mysterious old ladies, finding oneself and tragic love spanning centuries. It was just what I needed. Thank you.

Desperately Wants to be a Hallmark Movie

If you’re into Hallmark movies, you would like this book. It was sappier & cheesier than I expected. The narrator was very good though.

A New Experience

This audiobook was so slow and boring for the first four hours that I considered stopping and starting a new book. I am glad that I decided to continue to the end, because the last eight hours got very interesting and I wanted to know why previous reviewers liked it so much. The ending was totally unexpected and really wonderful.

Magic, mystery, love, and the end of a curse

A lovely written book with great narration. I love the storyline of a young woman finding herself and what brings her joy. Top it off with a hot Scott and I’m hooked! You’ll love this listen to the end for sure!

A gripping magical tale

A tale of time and love, magic and mystery! I don’t want to spoil anything. A must read!
