Anatolia, 1336: 'Child,' Nene said out of darkness, out of silence, 'I want you
to go to your grandfather's country. I want you to find him.'
When her beloved grandmother dies, Sophia is to be sent back to her father's tribe which may be a death sentence. As the possessor of skills which no other girl has, Sophia determines to make her own fate and to fulfil her grandmother's wish. In the dark of night she creeps from the summer dwelling intent on finding her way to England in search of Will the Storyteller the man Nene fell in love with years before, the man Nene sees in Sophia's eyes.
Unbeknownst to her, the key to her success is a Welshman who would protect her with his life but doesn't even know her name...

Reviews
"The Storyteller's Granddaughter is a work of fierce beauty... The beauty of the novel comes from Redfern's use of language which is rich and poetic. Also from the intermingling of Sufi mysticism and western thought. Each character carries pain, each one is haunted by their secrets, yet in this community of many tongues and faiths, they journey towards peace and resolution."
Elizabeth Jane Corbett
"For readers looking for a gripping medieval adventure that stunningly portrays 14th-century Anatolia, I would recommend The Storyteller's Granddaughter."
