THE CURSE OF PENRYTH HALL

Emma Love beautifully delivers the essence of this story. In 1922, Ruby, an heiress, is sent to Lothel Green to deliver a trunk of magical books to Ruan, who has a gift for healing. While there, Ruby visits her old friend, Tamsyn, who has married Sir Chenowyth of Penryth Hall. Overnight, Chenowyth is found dead in the orchard, and locals believe the cause was a curse. Tamsyn is sure she and her son are next. Confused by the strange events, Ruby becomes wrapped up in Ruan, Tamsyn, and the mystery of what's going on. Love skillfully depicts the many characters by altering her accent, tone, and pacing. Masterfully, Love increases the listener's anticipation with breathless pacing.
