About this listen
From the critically acclaimed, bestselling author of Weyward Sisters separated by centuries. Voices that can't be drowned out.
'Evocative and compelling … As hopeful as it is heart-wrenching' LUCY CLARKE, author of THE HIKE and ONE OF THE GIRLS
'A profoundly moving and rich historical story wrapped up in a contemporary murder mystery’ ROSIE ANDREWS, author of THE LEVIATHAN
'Enthralling … It made me cry on a railway platform’ BRIDGET COLLINS, author of THE BINDING and THE SILENCE FACTORY
Lucy is running from what she’s done – and what someone did to her.
There’s only one person who might understand: her sister Jess. But when Lucy arrives at her sister’s desolate cliff-top house, Jess is gone.
Lucy is now alone, in a strange town steeped in rumour. Stories of men disappearing without a trace. A foundling discovered in a sea-swept cave. And women’s voices murmuring on the waves…
As Lucy searches for her sister, those voices get ever louder. They tell of two sisters, two centuries ago, bound and transported across the world. A world where men always get their way. A world that is at once distant, and achingly familiar.
Are these voices luring Lucy closer to her sister? Or will the secrets of the past pull them both under?
Emilia Hart's book 'The Sirens' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2025-02-17.

‘Full of allure and brimming with undercurrents of buried secrets… beautifully written and utterly compelling’ EVIE WOODS, author of The Lost Bookshop
‘What a gorgeous book this is … Wistful, haunting, drenched in seaweed and a frothy tide, a story about sisterhood and the ocean. Beautiful … I just loved it’ CJ COOKE, author of The Lighthouse Witches
‘An absolutely immersive, utterly captivating puzzle box of a novel, both gripping and heart-wrenching. Hart is a gorgeously emotive storyteller – loved it!’ ELLERY LLOYD, author of The Club
'The Sirens teems with family secrets, eerie dreams, and deep transformation. A compelling tale of sisterhood, sacrifice, and the sea, this is a beautiful follow-up to Hart's sensational debut, Weyward. The Sirens will sweep you away' SARAH PENNER, author of The Lost Apothecary
'A mythical journey through time, evoking ancient tales of the sea … A beautiful and propulsive story full of love and intrigue. A remarkable read' AMANDA PETERS, author of The Berry Pickers
‘I absolutely adored this powerful, beguiling novel, steeped in magic, mystery and the wild forces of the ocean’ LIZZIE POOK, author of Moonlight and the Pearler’s Daughter
'A dark, glittering, magical book, filled with the power of women and the swell of the sea. The most immersive story I’ve read in a long time' CHARLOTTE RUNCIE, author of Salt on Your Tongue

Mix of genres and feminist themes
The writing is excellent and so is the story but the audible was spoiled by one character for me. I now have the book to read and author to meet

Another triumph by Emilia Hart.
A slower burn than Wayward, but engrossing nevertheless. I really enjoyed this book, particularly the stories of Mary and Eliza.

Difficult to listen to
One narrator was very fast and one slow, really irritating narration as a result.
Story started off with some interesting ideas but seemed to fizzle with one storyline not being resolved. Disappointing overall.

5 ⭐️
This book was really engaging from the start right through to the end. I listened to the whole thing over 2 days!
Narration is fantastic and I really enjoyed the characters being represented with their own voices.
Another hit from Emilia Hart!

Beautiful, ethereal
I absolutely loved the authors first novel and this, her second, does not dissappoint. Beautiful, lyrical prose, a lovely performance by the readers, you'll be drawn in by the sirens song, this book was gripping from start to finish. I'm just sad that will have to wait for the next book the author writes.

captivating
A captivating novel that reimagines mythology with a fresh, feminist perspective.
I loved the narration on Audible as it enhaned the emotional depth of the book, making the experience a must-listen.

not Wayward, but good nevertheless
if you're looking for a Wayward rewrite this isn't it. alas, this is an awesome story initself. Emilia is a fantastic writer and builds her worlds so eloquently. You can't help to be fully emersed within her stories. Although a tad predictable you do not care for the flow of the story is just magnificent and magical. 10/10

Great Narrators
great concept but fell abit flat for me. I was disappointed in this, having really high hopes as I loved Weywars so much. I don't know why it just didn't grip me like I hoped it would. I found Mary's chapters the best and looked forward to them. overall it was okay,
