After her father's death, Sophie is contacted by her Uncle Edward with an offer of a job-- bookbinder at the prestigious Ayredale Library. This is the position her mother held before she mysteriously disappeared when Sophie was still a teen, and her father dragged her away to London. When she returns to the library, memories from her forgotten past start to come back to her, including a dark haired boy, Will, that she'd fallen for all those years ago. But Sophie's ties to this library run deep and strange things start to happen, whispers of voices long forgotten and an unknown power buried deep under the library's surface.
The library itself seems to be a malevolent character in this book, a creeping presence in the background. The descriptions of the library, the tree, and the characters just painted a picture for me and I was lost in its magical world from beginning to end.
Big thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for the advance reader copy of this wonderful book. The views and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily
