About this listen
Two women.
A wild Island.
A truth buried deep in the past.
‘Like a surreal cabinet of curiosities – haunting, eerie, evocative’ Bridget Collins, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Binding
‘This moving tale is set in a mesmerising world’ Heat
‘Polly Crosby whips up a lush, mythical world in this dream-like novel . . . A book worm’s treat!’Eve Chase, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Glass House
Tartelin Brown is all alone in the world. So when she sees an advert for a job on a remote island, she knows she has nothing to lose.
Her employer, Marianne Stourbridge, is a woman as strange and mysterious as the place she inhabits.
Tasked with hunting butterflies for Marianne’s research, Tartelin quickly uncovers evidence of something even more intriguing – for Marianne has a remarkable past.
Determined to piece together the story, Tartelin must first confront her own. But what she discovers on the island is more terrible and heart-breaking than she could ever have imagined.
Atmospheric and deeply emotional, The Unravelling is the captivating novel from the author of The Illustrated Child.

Utterly Absorbing
Just finished this wonderful book - I can usually listen to audio books whilst pottering about the house/garden, but this commanded my full attention. I found the narrator captured the voice of the Island and it’s inhabitants beautifully.
The story starts by lulling you gently into island life - Polly Crosby is a wordsmith and paints stunningly clear and wondrous images - and you get to know the two women sharing this unique space together and yet both so very alone.
As the story progresses there is a deeper, darker narrative which you are pulled into as the different threads of the past and present are masterly inter-woven.
It is melancholic and even harrowing at times, whilst being incredibly cathartic. Not a lighthearted read, but such a beautiful one.
