pickSomehow, not quite what I wanted, though I can't articulately express exactly what felt lacking.
I had some issues with the protagonist, whom I think such a story relies heavily upon for empathy and identification, and a couple of her actions.
In general, though, I quite enjoyed the setting, the storyline, the elements of magical realism, and will be keeping an eye on the author.
Nobody comes to the remote Scottish island Bancree. When a mysterious man and his daughter move to the island Flora is curious. Meanwhile several of the men on Bancree have disappeared, unnerving the community. When a body washes ashore the suspicion turns to the newcomers. But Flo suspects something else, she asks locals anything they know about selkies- the mythical women who can turn to seal and back again.
Strange but intriguing 🤔

Honestly,the cats right.This will definitely, positively, absolutely be the last purchase of this year.Only because there's two more days left in it!This year has been so crappy,I feel justified in buying lots of lovely lovely books to cheer me up.Besides, it's all your fault. At least half of these are #BlameItOnLitsy purchases, or more specifically, #BlameItOnLiberty. If Miss @Liberty continues to wax eloquently about books, who am I to resist?
pickBit creepy, but dreamy. Great setting, mood, and lovely humor. Nice wind-up. Hmm.

It's 100 degrees so a book about selkies on the chilly Scottish coast seems like a good choice
I didn't see myself fit to be a selkie's man. She scared me. I could sense the love in her. It was bigger than a sea. It was too much.
