Publisher's summary

Jane Thorburn straddles two worlds: her life as a “factory girl” in Scotland’s mills, and her birthright as fairy royalty. Abandoned by her parents as an infant, and uncertain about the true motives of the Fey, she learns to depend only on herself. All she wants is to be a great weaver and to maintain her independence.

The Fair Folk, fighting for their very survival, have other plans for her, as does the handsome and charismatic Robert Stein. What life will she choose? And will she even have a choice?

A historical fantasy inspired by the author’s ancestors, The Factory Girl and the Fey is an affectionate tribute to the women who helped fuel Scotland’s Industrial Age, from the workers to the poets…and to the Fey who remind us that magic is real when we believe in it.

Odd marriage of the Iron Age and Fey

Parents: Could go either way PG13 to R - 16 year + readers
Language: none
Violence: PG13-R - one pretty gory death scene,
Sexual content: PG13-R - abortion, references to intimate relationships outside of marriage, heat/wetness, not ultra descriptive bedroom scenes, childbirth

The story meanders a lot, main character is frustrating at her stubbornness to adapt or change in any way. While loyal and kind, Jane isn’t the most likable protagonist I’ve ever seen. Much of the book feels disjointed when it comes to speed and high points. An ok tale, not as steamy as most books containing the Fey. If you’re looking for something happy and uplifting this isn’t your novel.

Narrator: differentiations could be better

The Factory Girl and the Fey

3.5 Stars
The story was well written and I enjoyed it, but the book felt rather slow in places. The narrator gave a good performance and I enjoyed hearing it, however the audio sounded slightly muffled. This, coupled with the fact that I have difficulty with accents, I had to work to understand all that was said. All of that being said, I do recommend this book and I am really glad that I listened to it, despite the issues I mentioned.
