Luda, a photographer, and her two teenagers arrive in the Scottish
Northern Isles to make a new life. Everywhere the past shimmers to
the surface; the shifting landscapes and wild weather dominates;
the line between reality and the uncanny seems thin here. The
teenagers forge connections, making friends of neighbours,
discovering both longing and dangerous compulsions. But their
mother - fallible, obsessive, distracted - comes up hard against
suspicion. The persecution and violence that drove the island's
historic witch trials still simmers today, in isolated homes and
church buildings, and where folklore and fact intertwine. A
compelling and magically immersive novel about a family on the edge
and a community ensnared by history, that gathers to an
unforgettable ending.
