A review by susanlawson
Orkney by Amy Sackville

4.0

I loved this story (read over 24 hours in Orkney) about a 60 year old Professor on honeymoon on one of the less inhabited Orkney Islands with his 21 year old former student / wife. She has asked to go to Orkney where she had lived as a baby and where her long lost father had come from. She spends her time on the shore, staring out to sea in all weathers while her husband watches her from the window of their little cottage. They tell each other stories about Selkies and magical creatures and the husband's obsession with his young wife grows as she slips from his grasp towards her destiny.
