Cuddle up on a sofa book

Freya North took me to Harris. I was there, on the beach, soaking up the landscape and appreciating the rich history. I knew the characters, felt their pain, their hopes, their fears and their love. Sofia Engstrand narrated this book perfectly and I hung on her every word. Thank you.

Beautiful setting for an intriguing story of love and hope.

Really enjoyed listening to this beautifully written story of a child’s search for her mother!

Sadness

I kept on thinking it was the end and it kept going. Lovely written but too long and slow paced for my taste. Lovely setting and descriptions of Harris

Beautiful uplifting story

I really enjoyed this audible book. I loved the story and the fact it was built upon the real life Outer Hebrides’ District Nurses. I felt engaged with and rooting for the characters. The landscape was a beautiful background. Thank you Freya! It has been lovely companion to my dog walks. Jo

Fabulous!

The characters, the setting, the words used to describe each, drew me into this book so much that I could not stop listening. The narrator could not have been more perfect either. A must read. Soft and bewitching.

This will always live in my heart rent free!

I read my first Freya North book at the age of 17.
Over the 20 years that have followed, I have read each and every other of Freya's 14 books, more than once.
I have always found a certain happiness and inner peace when reading Freyas books and have revelled in the pages,  sharing them with my mum and sister who are also avid Freya fans.
I eagerly awaited Little Wing and had my pre order in as soon as it was available.
I received my hard back through the post but ended up listening to it on audible as it works so well with my busy schedule.

Sophia Engstrand did a fantastic job of narrating and has such a soothing and calming voice.

From the very first chapter, I felt as though I was being hugged by an old friend.
Freya's writing style, although refined over the years, is unmistakable to me.

Little Wing is such a beautiful story. It's filled with sadness tinged with plenty of joy and that feeling that fills your heart.

Freya describes the Outter Hebrides in such a way, that I feel as though I've been there, and it's left its mark on my heart.

The characters are surely living, breathing people, because I met them the day I started reading, and they will stay with me for life.

I hung on as long as I could before listening to the epilogue because I couldn't bear for it to be over.
I would happily spend the rest of my days following Nell, Flora and Douggie through theirs.

To summarise, I would highly recommend this beautiful story to anyone. I really mean anyone.
If you haven't read this book, you are missing out.

Now to go book my flight to Harris!
