About this listen
Poets had always lived there, the locals claimed. When Sadie inherits Poet’s Cottage in the Tasmanian fishing town of Pencubitt, she sets out to discover all she can about her notorious grandmother, Pearl Tatlow. Pearl was a children’s writer who scandalised 1930s Tasmania with her behaviour. She was also violently murdered in the cellar of Poet’s Cottage and her murderer never found. Sadie grew up with a loving version of Pearl through her mother, but her aunt Thomasina tells a different story, one of a self-obsessed, abusive and licentious woman. And Pearl’s biographer, Birdie Pinkerton, has more than enough reason to discredit her.
As Sadie and her daughter, Betty, work to uncover the truth, strange events begin to occur in the cottage. And as the terrible secret in the cellar threads its way into the present day, it reveals a truth more shocking than the decades-long rumours. Poet’s Cottage is a beautiful and haunting mystery of families, bohemia, truth, creativity, lies, memory, and murder.

a wonderful Tasmanian story!
from the first page I was hooked, the characters are full and interesting, the landscapes whimsical and beautiful and the story kept me guessing until the very end. I thoroughly enjoyed living in this Tasmanian seaside town with all its beauty and secrets and didn't want the story to end.

Sadly ruined by poor narration
Audible please review your narrators before listing your books! I love audio books but audible narration is v poor in 75% of all your books I have listened to.
I loved this writer yrs ago as I love her depiction of all things Aus. Iwas so happy to find her on audible. Unfortunately, this was not one of her best & it was absolutely ruined for me by the sing song, over animated narration. Poss someone should have told the narrator it was a murder mystery & not a nursery rhyme. Extremely inappropriate rendition. Couldn't be more disappointed.
