(1) YA Magically, a bitter ostracized seal-kin girl calls up beautiful selkie women to entice the men of Rollrock Island, whose human wives eventually abandon the island. The world is busily, passionately alive in this blend of folktale and invented regionality; each of six narrators comes fully formed; and Lanagan makes us confront the troubled but fertile margins of our animal and human natures.
