Winner of the 2022 BookFest Award - First place for Magic, Legends and Lore - Third place for Historical Fiction.
Artist Margaret Talbot has overcome prejudice and discrimination to become a magazine illustrator at the end of the nineteenth century. In 1901, she suffers a life changing crisis and comes to a small fishing village where she meets many people.
One of these is a young woman named Sara who skips, sings nonsense songs and has trouble understanding everyday things, like how wagon wheels go around. Margaret fears Sara suffered a childhood trauma and is hiding from the real world but some in the village say that Sara is a selkie, a magical being from Celtic mythology who walks on the land as a human and swims in the sea as a seal.
With the influence of the villagers, and her own self-determination, Margaret strives to discover who she is and want she wants from life.
Now with authentic engravings from the Victorian era in an illustrated edition.
