About this listen
A Year of Marvellous Ways is the much anticipated and utterly beguiling new novel from Sarah Winman, author of the international best seller When God Was a Rabbit.
Cornwall, 1947. Marvellous Ways is a 90-year-old woman who's lived alone on a remote creek for nearly all her life. Recently she's taken to spending her days sitting on a mooring stone by the river with a telescope. She's waiting for something - she's not sure what, but she'll know it when she sees it.
Drake is a young soldier left reeling by the war. He's agreed to fulfil a dying man's last wish and hand deliver a letter to the man's father in Cornwall. But Drake's journey doesn't go to plan and sees him literally wash up in Marvellous' creek, broken in body and spirit.
When Marvellous comes to his aid, an unlikely friendship grows between the two. Can Drake give Marvellous what she needs to say good-bye to the world, and can she give him what he needs to go on?

What a magical gem of a book. Sarah Winman is nothing short of brilliant, as an author and narrator.

Totally wonderful
I have waited years to read a book of such simple complexity.
Eloquent in the extreme. It reads like poetry.
Narration cannot be faulted.
I loved it so much I intend to listen to it again and it only just finished prior to writing this review. Listen with pleasure - it is a rare beauty,

I listen to it over and over again
I have listened to the intertwining stories of Marvellous and the lives she is guiding in marvellous ways at least 7 times now. Every time I find something I must have missed before or something that speaks to a situation in my life. I would have loved to meet Marvellous.
Thank you for a wonderfully written and narrated guiding light.

Marvellous imagination
I was occasionally confused but could not stop listening to this amazing book by Sarah Winman She not only writes but also reads her novels beautifully… not a skill enjoyed by all authors. Would definitely recommend
