About this listen
Fleeing a troubled past, immigrant fortune teller Tao roams the dusty countryside with only her mule for company, telling small fortunes, for small prices. Big fortunes come with big consequences . . . which she knows from bitter experience.
It's a lonely life, until she encounters an ex-mercenary and a (semi) reformed thief, who recruit her into their desperate search for a lost child. Soon, they're joined by a baker with a knead for adventure, and - of course - a slightly magical cat.
Tao sets down a new path with companions as big-hearted as her fortunes are small. But as her friends break down her walls, the shadows of her past close in. Now, Tao must decide whether to risk everything to save the family she never thought she could have . . .©2024 Julie Leong (P)2024 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

Very sweet and cosy
A lovely story and beautiful setting, but didn’t seem to flow as well as it could have. The beginning was really lovely but it seemed to go a bit off track in the middle. The end was great and wrapped up nicely - felt like drinking a warm cup of tea.
The narration was ok but had some strange emphasis and cadence that threw me off a bit.
