About this listen

Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden, read by Kathleen Gati.

A young woman's family is threatened by forces both real and fantastical in this debut novel inspired by Russian fairy tales.

In a village at the edge of the wilderness of Northern Russia, where the winds blow cold and the snow falls many months of the year, a stranger with piercing blue eyes presents a new father with a gift - a precious jewel on a delicate chain, intended for his young daughter. Uncertain of its meaning, the father hides the gift away, and his daughter, Vasya, grows up a wild, willful girl, to the chagrin of her family. But when mysterious forces threaten the happiness of their village, Vasya discovers that, armed only with the necklace, she may be the only one who can keep the darkness at bay.

Atmospheric and enchanting, with an engrossing adventure at its core, The Bear and the Nightingale is perfect for fans of Naomi Novik's Uprooted, Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus and Neil Gaiman.

Her voice made this book as magical as the whole story. I could listen to this again by the fire, on a winter night and be as enchanted by it as the first time.

I listened while I was on bus, the story was so engrossing that I had read the book but, BUT I felt the narration was better than my own voice. Mine was not as magical as her narration.

Her voice for this narration was perfect.

This book and the reading was a beautiful Russian fairytale marvel. The narration transports the listener completely into the story. The characters came alive for me.

I loved The Bear and the Nightingale!

I loved the Russian fairy tales woven in this storyline but the narration was too childish for me. This is more like a teenage readers level than a YA

Interesting story but the narration is weak

Mesmerizing
