The Phantom Tree

By: Nicola Cornick

Narrated by: Laura Kirman, Stephanie Racine

Browsing an antiques shop in Wiltshire, Alison Bannister stumbles across a delicate old portrait—identified as the doomed Tudor queen, Anne Boleyn. Except Alison knows better. The subject is Mary Seymour, the daughter of Katherine Parr, who was taken to Wolf Hall in 1557 and presumed dead after going missing as a child. And Alison knows this because she, too, lived at Wolf Hall and knew Mary...more than four hundred years ago.

The painting of Mary is more than just a beautiful object for Alison—it holds the key to her past life, the unlocking of the mystery surrounding Mary’s disappearance and how Alison can get back to her own time. To when she and Mary were childhood enemies yet shared a pact that now, finally, must be fulfilled, no matter the cost.

Bestselling author of House of Shadows Nicola Cornick offers a provocative alternate history of rivals, secrets and danger, set in a time when a woman’s destiny was determined by the politics of men and luck of birth. A spellbinding tale for fans of Kate Morton, Philippa Gregory and Barbara Erskine.

Terrific time travel story!

Don't worry about the physics of time travel. Engage with the main characters as they sort out the puzzle that crosses the centuries. This story draws you into their lives and you feel their emotions.

Surprising twist . Is even better 2nd time!

Slow to start, but hang in there it is a good story with some twists. She goes back and forth in time so you have to keep up but it is like having two stories. And the narrators have the perfect calm voices which some nights put me to sleep with their peaceful voices but i guess thats why i have listened to it at least ten times!

the phantom tree

good. had trouble knowing which character the chapter was suppose to be about unless it said so and then could be difficult as all the voices sounded the same for each character.

Here and there

Fun read with twists and turns. Enjoyed the time travel. Readers voices pleasant and how time periods were announced.
