What happens when magic collides with reality? Donald is a young fisherman eking out a lonely living on the west coast of Scotland. One night time he witnesses something miraculous...and makes a terrible mistake. His action changes lives - not only his own but those of his family and the whole tightly knit community in which they live. Can he ever before atone for the incorrect he did, and can love develop when its basis is violence? Predicated on the legend of the selkies - seals who are able to transform into people - Sealskin is a enchanting story evoking the severe beauty of the surroundings; the resilience of its people, both man and animal; and the triumph of hope over dread and prejudice. With beautiful grace, Exeter Novel Prize winner Su Bristow transports us to another world, subtly and magnificently exploring what it means to be an outsider and our innate convenience of forgiveness and acceptance. Rich with myth and magic, Sealskin is nonetheless an extremely human storyline, as relevant to our world as to the timeless place in which it is defined. Which is, quite simply, unforgettable.
