But someone else is waiting too. The man in the dark coat, watching for the right moment with a huntsman’s eye . . .

1856, the Scottish Highlands. A haunting novel of a young doctor’s wife, Isabel Aird, struggling to make her childless life meaningful, unaware that the sinister Robert Kirke is watching her every move when she becomes pregnant again.

Bestselling author, journalist and broadcaster Sally Magnusson has written several books for adults and children, most recently her Sunday Times bestseller Where Memories Go about her mother’s dementia, and The Sealwoman’s Gift, her acclaimed debut novel, shortlisted for the Authors’ Club Best First Novel Award, the Saltire Fiction Book of the Year, the Paul Torday Memorial Prize, the McKitterick Prize, the Waverton Good Read Award and the HWA Debut Fiction Crown.

“A remarkable feat of imagination . . . an extraordinarily immersive read that emphasises the power of stories, examining themes of motherhood, identity, exile and freedom” – The Guardian, on The Sealwoman’s Gift
