The Storyteller's Daughter

By: Victoria Scott

Narrated by: Lucy Scott

The BRAND NEW beautiful historical novel from Victoria Scott, perfect for fans of Evie Woods, Kate Storey and Rachel Burton

A secret buried for decades… A story that will change everything.

1940: When twenty-one-year-old Nita Bineham is offered the chance of independence, away from the high walls of her family’s Surrey estate, she grasps it with both hands. But her new role at a local newspaper coincides with the emergence of a sinister rumour in their quiet village: that there is a traitor in their midst. Nita is determined to prove herself by uncovering the truth, but is she prepared for revelations that could change her life forever?

2008: Following the death of her great aunt, Beth flees London for the privacy of rural Surrey. Within the confines of her family’s dilapidated manor house, she hides from the dual wreckage of her career and her marriage. But when her aunt’s dying words lead her to a stack of old newspaper articles, Beth finds herself drawn into a decades old mystery: about a long-buried secret, and an enemy dangerously close to home.

Hooked from the start

Great story! I don’t recommend listening to it while working: I did and missed some of the nuances of the challenges each woman had. I’m glad Beth & her husband made it work in the end but I personally don’t like how they got there…most divorces have multiple factors that contributed to the breakdown and it’s difficult to imagine that Beth didn’t see cracks before David asked for a divorce.
I truly felt heartbroken for Nita.

Easy read

Great narrator! Loved the easy, cozy story! Not a fan of witchcraft but other than that I love the mystery that keeps you reading until the end!

Beautiful

A beautiful tail of life and overcoming obstacles. Family, secrets, and mending. I loved the writing and really cherish the story.

Awesome historical fiction

I loved the 2 main characters & their 2 time periods! Nita and Beth are struggling with family & societal expectations. The narration was authentic & the plot exciting. This is our Albright College Zoom book club selection, it did not disappoint
