About The Brides of Rollrock Island
The witch Misskaella can draw women from the hearts of seals, and the men of Rollrock Island are willing to pay for beautiful sea-wives they believe they can possess. Lanagan’s selkie tale explores desire, despair, cruelty, transformation, and the cost paid by the women, men, and children trapped by that bargain.
