Scotland, folklore, ancient curses, grief, forgiveness - it was difficult to put this book down with such a variety of themes to explore with the overarching folk-horror storyline. I felt acutely connected to the island community, in which the story was based, & I had a vivid sense of what the island looked like. Each chapter is told from a different character's perspective, including the wildlife, some of which were likable, some were absolutely not, plus plenty of diverse characters & I loved it. Sometimes I felt a bit more disjointed from one character to another, but overall a fantastic and un-put-down-able.
