Summary
Ponden Hall is a centuries-old house on the Yorkshire moors, a magical place full of stories. It's also where Trudy Heaton grew up. And where she ran away from....
Now, after the devastating loss of her husband, she is returning home with her young son, Will, who refuses to believe his father is dead.
While Trudy tries to do her best for her son, she must also attempt to build bridges with her eccentric mother. And then there is the Hall itself: fallen into disrepair but generations of lives and loves still echo in its shadows, sometimes even reaching out to the present....
A hauntingly beautiful story of love and hope, from the Sunday Times best-selling author of The Memory Book and The Summer of Impossible Things.

Brilliant
I loved every minute of this book!
Knowing the area well helped me to really get a feel for the setting of this story. Having the Bronte's in it added a 'real life' feel to the story too.
The main characters now and in the past were very well described and their stories were woven with real skill.
I liked the ending....but would love a book 2 as I keep thinking of the characters that were there at the end and wondering how they are getting on.

Awesome
I only recently discovered this author, but her work is wonderful. Slightly other worldly, yet so real, very satisfying, nuanced characters, and often gripping. I really enjoyed this. Not quite as much as The Summer Of Lost Things, but almost. I will definitely read or listen to more. So enjoyable.

Seriously loved it!!
Full of suspense and frequently had me biting my nails. I mean listening to it whilst walking the dogs around fields in the dark definitely added to the scared inner feeling I got at times but it is set on the Moors so made it feel more authentic. Really clever story line and brilliant ideas; if only they were true! I mean, who's to say they're not?

The girl at the window
A lovely book. Read in 3 days. Interesting story. Would have liked an authors note to say where truth meets imagination. Characters believable. Villain not too wicked

Amazing book and beautiful narration
A beautiful story combining love, hatred, loss, rekindling of relationships, humour, hope, respect and descriptions of beautiful scenery. Mesmerising!

Sentimental, but okay
The book was well-read, but it was a bit too emotional for me. Everything was "heart-wrenching", and there was a great deal of sobbing on the part of the main characters and their parallel character. It wasn't for me but if you love the Brontes, a bit of historical romance, and schmalzy mother-son/daughter-mother interactions, then this is a great choice for you.

Nice story but you need to know the background
I really enjoyed listening to this book and I think if you already have knowledge of Emily Bronte and her books it'll make much more sense as they refer to her and her books a lot through out. Personally I have never read any of her books so it took me a while to actually catch up and realise what they are talking about in a lot of parts.
Otherwise a nice easy read
