Beautifully written and the audio book has great narration. I was happily lost in these mysterious woods with Mason’s multitude of characters. Spiritual, atmospheric and magical, with some characters that I really loved (Alice and Mary). Oh and the love and desire conveyed in the epistolary section is moving and tender.  Mason links the journey through time so adeptly rooted with such a wonderful sense of place.
