Paperback. Etat : Very Good. An exquisitely written, heart-achingly beautiful retelling of the Selkie legend both timeless and timely by award-winning debut author Su Bristow Told with skill and beauty held me spellbound to the very last pageAmanda Jennings Sorrowful and lovely, with a well-earned, satisfying conclusion'Publishers Weekly Accomplished and intelligent a fine piece of craftsmanship and a pleasure to readAllan Massie ***SHORTLISTED FOR THE PAUL TORDAY MEMORIAL PRIZE*** ___________________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 he witnesses something miraculous and makes a terrible mistake. His action changes lives not only his own, but those of his family and the entire tightly knit community in which they live. Can he ever atone for the wrong he has done, and can love grow when its foundation is violence? Based on the legend of the selkies seals who can transform into people Sealskinis a magical story, evoking the harsh beauty of the landscape, the resilience of its people, both human and animal, and the triumph of hope over fear and prejudice. With exquisite grace, Exeter Novel Prize-winner Su Bristow transports us to a different world, subtly and beautifully exploring what it means to be an outsider, and our innate capacity for forgiveness and acceptance. Rich with myth and magic,Sealskinis, nonetheless, a very human story, as relevant to our world as to the timeless place in which it is set. And it is, quite simply, unforgettable. ___________________ 'This assured and readable story is determined to show that change and growth are possible, even on the very margins of society.

Paperback. Etat : Good. From prize-winning author Su Bristow comes a fascinating coming-of-age novel about magic and the choices that define future generations. It's 1959. To eight-year-old Felicity--who lives on a dying farm in England--the fairies in the woods have much more to offer than the people in her everyday life. As she becomes more rooted in their world, she learns that their magic is far from safe. Their queen, Elfrida, offers Felicity a gift. But fairy bargains are never what they seem. As an adult, Felicity leaves for university. Unfortunately, books are not her only company at school: Elfrida and Hobb--the queen's constant companions--wield the ability to appear at any time, causing havoc in her new friendships and love life. Desperate, Felicity finally begins to explore the true nature of the Fair Folk and their magic. Her ally, the folklorist Professor Edgerley, asks, "What do they want from you?" The answer lies in the distant past, and in the secrets of her own family. As the consequences of the "gift" play out, Felicity must draw on her courage to confront Elfrida, and make the right choice. Interwoven with traditional stories and striking characters, The Fair Folk poses questions about how we care for our children, our land, and our love-hate relationship with what we desire most.…

Donald, a young fisherman, is overwhelmed when he comes across a group of exotic women dancing on the shore beneath the moonlight. They are selkies--seals that shed their skin once a year and become human for a few hours. Overcome by their beauty and magic, Donald kidnaps one--a choice that will determine his future.Now, back home in his close-knit Scottish village, he must take responsibility for what he has done. Donald has been bullied and isolated all his life, but thanks to his mother and his stolen selkie wife, he finds the courage to question, then change the culture of the town that has been mired in the past for generations. Yet despite their mutual happiness, he can never truly forgive himself for the thoughtless act that brought his wife to him.This enchanting story works its way to a surprising yet satisfying ending.
