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.

Critic reviews
‘Full of allure and brimming with undercurrents of buried secrets… beautifully written and utterly compelling’ EVIE WOODS, author of The Lost Bookshop

‘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

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.

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.

Beautiful!
After listening to the author talk about her book on Women’s hour I decided to give it a try!
Absolutely loved it! I have binge listened to it the last two days. I didn’t want it to end. One of the book’s greatest strengths is its nuanced understanding of women—not just as characters, but as complex individuals shaped by history, society, and personal struggles. The way the author explores themes of identity, resilience, and autonomy feels both original and deeply resonant.
The narrators were spot on, so important with any audiobook.
I can’t wait to try more from this author!
