Description
On the rugged Scottish Northern Isles, a family's past and present collide in a story of magic, obsession, and the power of the land.
Luda, a photographer, and her two teenagers arrive at their new home, only to find that the island's history is still simmering with tension. The shifting landscapes and wild weather dominate, making it impossible to distinguish reality from the uncanny. As they try to make a new life, they forge connections with their neighbours, but their mother's fallibility and obsession come up hard against suspicion.
The persecution and violence of the island's historic witch trials still linger today, in isolated homes and church buildings, where folklore and fact intertwine. A compelling and magically immersive novel gathers to an unforgettable ending, warning voices for our time.
