Description
Gemma Hardy's life is turned upside down when her widower father drowns at sea, forcing her to leave her native Iceland and move to Scotland with her uncle and his family. However, her uncle's death soon leaves her in the care of her resentful aunt, and Gemma finds herself an unwelcome guest.
As she navigates the strict and oppressive years at a private school, Gemma eventually finds a job as an au pair to the eight-year-old niece of Mr. Sinclair on the Orkney Islands. It is here, at the mysterious and remote Blackbird Hall, that Gemma's greatest trial begins.
This poignant and powerful novel explores the complexities of family relationships, identity, and belonging, as Gemma struggles to find her place in the world.
