The Notary of 1934

An empty notarial folder from 1934, a pencilled question on its cover — a cozy historical sleep story from a small archive in the Portuguese Algarve.

The Archivist of Silves is a cozy historical fiction audiobook series set in the municipal archive of a small town in the Portuguese Algarve. Henrike Steinhoff came for the records and stayed for the town — and she has a memory for things that don’t quite add up: a gap in a file, a name that changes spelling, a story everyone tells the same way.
