The Visitors

1 Mins read
TheVisitors200

This debut novel is anything but run of the mill. Set on the fictional Scottish isle of Bancree, The Visitors is a heady mix of myth and modern life, with a plot that ebbs and flows like the waves that surround its misty setting.
A modern day story of mysterious disappearances is interwoven with legends of the mythical selkies – half human, half seal. It’s a coming of age tale which works on myriad levels, and a book that will haunt you long after you’ve read the last page. Read the full review here.
