Empfehlung von Anna Zehetmeier
„After enjoying Evie Woods’ previous novel so much, I couldn’t resist picking up „The Story Collector“ — and it did not disappoint. Woods has a wonderful gift for weaving together history, folklore, and human emotion into a narrative that feels both magical and deeply real. The book draws readers into a richly atmospheric world, where stories themselves seem to carry a power of their own. Woods’ writing is lyrical without being overdone, and she has a way of making every detail—whether it’s a place, a character, or even a fleeting moment—come alive on the page. What I particularly enjoyed is how the novel balances a sense of mystery with themes of belonging, memory, and the enduring strength of imagination.“
