I found Melanie Jackson via Liker.com's book page. She is a marvelous author, her characters are real and in depth. I have always had my "nose in a book" and probably read several hundred a year. My wife too. Selkie Bride was one of the first of her work I read, and for us, very difficult to obtain (We live in Poland, and had to order it second hand from America) -we do not buy from Amazon on principle, they are evil. It was worth the 3 month wait for delivery!
My son lives in the Hebrides, and the descriptions of landscape, people and culture are perfect. I first heard about the Selkie (or Silkie) via a Joan Baez song, and so the book was a good choice for us. We have obtained a few more of Melanie's books now and look forward to reading them. Highly recommended (or Polecamy as we say here)
