Jean Rafferty 
The Sealwoman 

“Strong feeling, uncompromising frankness” – Marina Warner. On wishing night, a seal slips from her watery domain and assumes human form on a Scottish island, but being human proves to be stranger and more complex than she’d imagined. This is an edgy modern retelling of the classic selkie tale, originally published in The Four Marys, a quartet of contemporary novellas drawing on Celtic history and folklore.
