‘A church is a sort of wood. A wood is a sort of church. They’re the same thing really.’

Nineteen-year-old Merowdis Scott is an unusual girl. She can talk to animals and trees – and she is only ever happy when she is walking in the woods.

One snowy afternoon, out with her dogs and Apple the pig, Merowdis encounters a blackbird and a fox. As darkness falls, a strange figure enters in their midst – and the path of her life is changed forever.

I’m a fan of Susanna Clarke’s work, so I should’ve expected something a bit quirky and unsettling and not your typical cosy Christmas story. It was marvellous having it narrated by the author accompanied by an entire score and sound effects. I especially appreciated her explanation at the end about how it came about and the influences over the years that contributed to this work.

As unsettling as you would expect
