Book Club' | 'LYRICAL' Stylist | 'POETIC' Daily Mail 1627. In a
notorious historical event, pirates raided the coast of Iceland and
abducted 400 people into slavery in Algiers. Among them a pastor,
his wife, and their children. In her acclaimed debut novel Sally
Magnusson imagines what history does not record: the experience of
Asta, the pastor's wife, as she faces her losses with the one thing
left to her - the stories from home - and forges an ambiguous bond
with the man who bought her. Uplifting, moving, and sharply witty,
The Sealwoman's Gift speaks across centuries and oceans about loss,
love, resilience and redemption. SHORTLISTED FOR THE HWA DEBUT
