About this listen

In an Italian city ravaged by plague, Sofia's mother carves beautiful mementoes from the bones of loved ones. But one day, she doesn't return home. Did her work lead her into danger?

Sofia and her little brother, Ermin, are sent to the convent orphanage but soon escape, led by an enigmatic new friend and their pet crow, Corvith. Together they cross the city underground, following clues in bones up to the towers of Siena, where - circled by magpies - the children find the terrible truth....

A fast paced exciting story full of rich imagery. I enjoyed the adventure as the children searched for their missing mother through the hidden tunnels of Sienna. Imaginative and full of interesting detail.

An imaginative and easy to listen to tale. I found all the descriptions a bit repetitive and the editing wasn’t quite right in a few places.

Imaginative tale, quite a bit of repetition
