Perfect for you if...

You love dual timeline stories where past and present collide, especially when Irish folklore and magic blur the line between myth and reality.
You're drawn to atmospheric settings and want to feel like you're sitting by an Irish fireside hearing stories that feel both timeless and urgent.
You enjoyed The Lost Bookshop and want more of Woods's ability to weave ordinary characters into extraordinary circumstances.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer straightforward plots without ambiguity about whether the magical elements are real or metaphorical.
You find dual timelines confusing or exhausting rather than satisfying.
You're looking for fast-paced thriller beats rather than atmospheric storytelling that rewards patience and reflection.

About this book

The Story Collector is a dual timeline novel set in Ireland and New York. One hundred years ago, Anna, a young farm girl in a quiet Irish village, volunteers to help an American visitor translate fairy stories from Irish to English. She discovers herself caught in a mystery that disrupts her life. In present-day New York, Sarah Harper travels to the West Coast of Ireland, where she uncovers dark secrets that blur the boundary between the everyday and the otherworldly. Evie Woods's novel weaves together past and present through ordinary characters with extraordinary stories, incorporating elements of Irish folklore and the possibility of magic. The Historical Novel Society noted the book balances an engaging narrative about grief with the tantalizing suggestion of fairies and magic without alienating skeptical readers. Previously published as The Story Collector by Evie Gaughan.
