This audio presentation was nicely done. It would make an excellent tape for a young girl whose life is turned upside down by the insensitivity of others. This book was on my best of the year list last year and for good reason. It's a compelling tale set in old England when superstition ran rampant. Corinna is a young orphan girl who, disguised as a boy named Corin, has taken on the role of folk keeper.
Unhappy folk can make cows dry up and crops fail.
It is in this role that Corin is enlisted as folk keeper at Cliffsend, the manor home of the Merton family. It is there that Corinna begins to realize that there is more to her past than she ever realized. She also realizes that you cannot trust everyone. As the mystery unfolds, Corinna has some enormous choices to make for her future. This audio version is performed by Marian Tomas Griffin and her lilting Irish accent adds much to the story.
