About this listen
Follow the river Liss to the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, and meet two sisters who cannot be separated, even in death.
'Oh what is stronger than a death? Two sisters singing with one breath.'
In the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, dwells the mysterious Hawthorn family.
There, they tend and harvest the enchanted willows and honour an ancient compact to sing to them in thanks for their magic. None more devotedly than the family's latest daughters, Esther and Ysabel, who cherish each other as much as they cherish the ancient trees.
But when Esther rejects a forceful suitor in favor of a lover from the land of Faerie, not only the sisters' bond but also their lives will be at risk...
The River Has Roots is the hugely anticipated solo debut of the New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award winning author Amal El-Mohtar.©2025 Amal El-Mohtar (P)2025 Macmillan Audio

Magical
Amal el-Mohtar's story is a magical tale told with brio by the narrator and interspersed with music and songs mentioned in the story. It is an immersive performance which makes you want more, even though it is perfectly structured and just long enough. The additional short story provides an interesting counterpoint with a slow careful reveal of the truth.

spectacular narration of a moving and beautiful story
from beginning to end, this book was finally moving, surprising and beautiful. set in an indeterminate era in Britain's history. it explores the relationship between two sisters and their weird elf in neighbors who bring luck and misfortune and ultimately redemption. an absolutely brilliant narration from Miss Carmella whose tone perfectly matches the theme and setting of this story
