About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A GRIPPING TALE OF IMPOSSIBLE LOVE, DISCOVER THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED NO.1 ITALIAN BESTSELLER NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ENGLISH

Legend speaks of the Maker of Tears: a man with eyes like glass, who crafts all the fears that dwell in people's hearts... What will it take for star-crossed orphans Nica and Rigel to face him and his creations?

Growing up within the walls of Grave's Orphanage, Nica's imagination burned with fantastical stories. Including that of The Tearsmith, a mysterious craftsman, guilty of having forged all the fears and anxieties in the world.

When at seventeen, she's adopted by Mr and Mrs Mulligan, Nica thinks she's leaving her world of dark fairy tales behind her.

But the Mulligans also adopt Rigel, an orphan who is as mesmerising and handsome as he is troubled. They share a past filled with grief and isolation, and the ever-gentle Nica starts to fall for her forbidden love.

However it isn’t long until the fears and the darkness of her childhood threaten to unravel her future.

Can Nica find the courage to embrace the future?

Forget her past?

And fall for her secret love?

what stood out the most for me was the complexity of the characters

I liked the story, the writting and how the characters unfolded bit by bit. i enjoyed the narrator as well.

Beautiful written

This was a beautifully written story. I don’t usually read teenage anymore but I wouldn’t even called this one that. It’s about peoples trauma how they overcome it and loving someone with their scars. Highly recommend

Don’t bother

I’m sorry but this book is terrible.
I’m not sure if it’s because it was translated from Italian into English and has been done poorly but I have 7 hours to go and I don’t think I can finish it and I am a book finisher!
Every thing is over explained The never ending word waffle about their feelings and most of it not making any sense just did my head in.
The performance is too slow I sped it up to 1.3 but still just get through any more of it.
