The Brides of Rollrock Island

Viac o knihe

Set on the isolated Rollrock Island, the story explores the dark allure of a witch named Misskaella, who can transform seals into beautiful sea-wives for men seeking companionship. While these men believe they possess their wives, they too become ensnared in a web of desire and transformation. Margo Lanagan's narrative delves into complex themes of love, cruelty, and the consequences of desire, all conveyed through hauntingly beautiful prose that captures the duality of human nature.
