About this listen

A woman's ability to see ghosts draws her into a journey of redemption and unexpected friendship in this unforgettable story from the acclaimed author of A Secret History of Witches.

Beatrice Bird is plagued by ghosts. It's a gift she's had since she was a small child. Unfortunately, it's a gift that has grown more intense, shifting from flashes and feelings to physical manifestations she can't escape. In a desperate attempt for relief, Beatrice flees her home, her partner and a psychology practice in San Francisco for a remote island with only nuns and a few cows for company. She sees as few people as she possibly can. She doesn't call home.

Then she meets Anne Iredale, a timid woman who has lost everything that matters to her. For the first time in a long time, Beatrice's gift will be called on to help someone in need. The path to healing awaits both of them - if Beatrice can find the courage to take the first step.

Critic reviews

A beautiful generational tale, reminiscent of Practical Magic . . . but much more expansive in scope. Grounded and real, painful and hopeful at the same time (Laure Eve, author of THE GRACES, on A SECRET HISTORY OF WITCHES)
A must-read for those who like magic, love, and a little bit of feel-good feminism in their historical fiction (LIBRARY JOURNAL on THE AGE OF WITCHES)
Morgan's superbly written historical novel set during the 1960s and 1970s offers a touch of the paranormal, complex and relatable characters, and resonant issues of abuse and control in a satisfying and highly relevant read . . . At once surprising, suspenseful, and thought-provoking, this may be Morgan's most compelling book yet (BOOKLIST (starred review))

storyline from start to finish with some great characters and antics within the book. The narrator was very good at using different voices for the characters.

My only negative is that I wished it lasted longer! Wow- what a lovely story, moving and powerful, well narrated and written. If you listen to one audio book this month, listen to this one!

Loved it!

Thank you so much Louisa Morgan! I really, really really enjoyed this book SO much! Infact I think it’s my favourite so far. (I have listened to all your books so far!) You may not believe this but I am a long life clairvoyant. My grandmother was too and I saw the ghosts that Dr B saw in this book exactly like the way I see aura’s! I am your biggest fan! I wish you all the best with your next masterpiece! Blessings galore from Marie in London! XX
