Some Kind of Fairy Tale: A Novel Audiobook

" I don't really know what to think about this story, because I honestly couldn't tell you what it's about. There's layers behind just the plain written down story, and I have to this odd, almost apprehensive feeling that I'm missing something. I do know it's not like Don't Breathe a Word, which pretended to be about fairies until the very end when it turned out it wasn't at all. That bad experience made me a little reluctant to read this one, but luckily this book at the very least leaves the question of whether or not there was actual supernatural involvement open-ended. "

" Really enjoyed this--a compelling read that by about halfway through was very hard to put down. Found myself thinking of it often in between reading sessions. It was a quietly contemplative novel, as charming as it was unsettling. I definitely want to read something else by Graham Joyce at some point. "

" Moody, mysterious and imbued with a subtle humor, this story of a woman who turns up on her family's doorstep on Christmas Day after having gone missing for twenty years was the perfect holiday read. Tara, who disappeared when she was sixteen, appears twenty years later looking no older than the day she left. Her family and old boyfriend, now middle aged, can't believe the story she tells: that a man on a white horse took her away to a strange land for six months and while she was there, twenty years passed in their small English village. Are fairies real? Each member of Tara's family tries to come to terms with her sudden reappearance and the troubling fact of her still youthful appearance. Despite a not quite satisfactory ending, this lovely book held me in thrall with its suggestion that there is an unseen world just around the next tree trunk that would be open to us if we would only turn off all our little machines for a minute and look. "

" I had a lot of fun reading this book! It has all of the fairy tale mythology put to modern day. Now I know for sure that a fairy realm DOES exist ;) "

" Great book, but I have no idea what happened at the end. "

" Another tale about fairies, this about a girl who disappears & reappears 20 years later, and the impact on those close to her. A nice read. "

" Great, fun read!! Good pick whomever picked it! Thanks!! "

" Didn't like this! And I love magic! "

" Interesting story about a girl who reappears after being missing for twenty years and her story of where she was. "

" Could have benefited from some more editing to remove a few details that felt a bit awkward or tone deaf, but, in general, the story kept me hooked. "

" Oooo-er! Fantastic! I love Graham Joyce! "

" It was an interesting story, but easy to put down and walk away from. "

" The kind of book where I couldn't stop thinking about it long after I finished. "
