It tries hard, and some of the writing is evocative. But it’s way too precious for me. Talking seals with Scottish accents? I just don’t think so. Even the lesbian sex scenes are curiously bloodless. In general, I think this novel would appeal most to a 12-year-old girl with a stuffed unicorn collection.

Presumably because of the cover (with a childlike drawing of a seal) and its link to fairy tales, this was catalogued as a children's novel at my local library. It is actually a feminist lesbian exploration of selkies in Scotland, with a focus on indigenous storytelling from around the world.
