I could taste the salt on my skin! So atmospheric, so engrossing, so well done! Love Malie, Bessie and Henrye so much, you could feel how hard, isolated, insular and cold this Scottish island is..as well as how beautiful and wild. This was an incredible read, and has given me an enormous amount to think about, not just about motherhood and ‘keep(ing) something for yourself’ but fatherhood too, female rage and domestic violence…all wrapped up in a story about selkies and seals.
I definitely have got to read All the Bees in the Hollow, I loved this novel so much!
