About this listen
The brand-new gripping historical novel from the Sunday Times best-selling author of Lady of Hay!
Mercia, 788 AD
In the grand Saxon halls of Mercia, King Offa rules with cold ambition. His youngest daughter, Eadburh, is destined for an arranged marriage, but with reckless spirit, her heart is taken by a Welsh prince, a man she can never be matched with and who is quickly and cruelly taken from her.
Eadburh inherited her father’s ruthless ways, but it’s the gifts passed down from her mother that are far more dangerous. She is determined to carve her own place in the world, yet her path could cause war.
Offa’s Dyke, 2021
In a cottage hidden amongst the misty Welsh hills of Offa’s Dyke, Bea Dalloway is called to help Simon Armstrong, who is searching for peace. Instead he finds himself disturbed by unsettling noises and visions.
It isn’t long before Bea is also swept up by haunting dreams. The past is whispering to them, calling out for the truth to be told at last. And as dreams and reality weave closer together, Bea and Simon must be strong to resist the pull of the past—and its desire for revenge....
The Sunday Times best-selling author returns with a thrilling tale of lost love, betrayal and secrets that have lain buried over a thousand years....

Critic reviews
“Barbara Erskine is an astonishingly good writer. I have always been a massive fan and admirer of her talent. I feel that she has written this book especially for me. It has everything I love, and is so compelling I drop everything to get back to it. Warmth, depth, mystery, magic and the supernatural, I’m just so excited to be engrossed in such a beautiful book!" (Santa Montefiore, best-selling author)
"A dazzling roller-coaster of a book that will thrill, enchant and intrigue those who love history and the supernatural." (Alison Weir, best-selling author)
"The story of Eadburh is brilliantly imagined and the novel is so atmospheric and suspenseful, full of myth and magic and hauntings...such vivid and well-rounded characters. Wild Wales and the contrasting ordered life of the Cathedral are beautifully evoked, too." (Rachel Hore, best-selling author)

Good story - reader got all the whispering wrong!
I enjoyed the story and the reader was fine. except for the whispered phrases. There was quite a lot of whispering in the book and every single time, I had to go back and play it again on full volume. Real whispers in an audio book just don’t work! They need to be stage whispers.
Apart from this annoying issue, 4 stars.

A pleasant rather than gripping listen
This book is kind of like Outlander but nowhere near as dramatic or exciting. Nothing much seemed to happen and it was all rather sedate but all the same rather enjoyable. I read previous reviews complaining about the narration but I found her tone very much fitted this book (and I'm not Welsh so happily ignorant of any pronunciation!).

I could listen to this story time and time again.
I can't recommend this book highly enough. Wonderful storyline and characters. I couldn't help crying during the last chapter.

Wonderful!
I simply like a good story and well read.
I'm no expert.
But Barbara Erskine (whom I had never read before) gripped me and had me unable to put down this book till the final moment.
Well, yes, I did have to perform the mundane as time went by!
OK, some readers might be picky about accents etc. But forget that. This is a fascinating story triggered by real historical characters.
And it will make you reflect on the nature of this bizarre event we call Life.
