She will finish her days on the cliff, turned to stone and gazing out at the horizon like all the islanders before her. Mara's parents - a boxer and a ballerina - chose this enchanted place as a refuge from the turbulence of their previous lives; they wanted to bring up their children somewhere special and safe. But the island and the sea don't care what people want, and when they claim a price from her family, Mara's world unravels. It takes the arrival of Pearl, mysterious and irresistible, to light a spark in Mara again, and allow her to consider a different story for herself. The Gloaming is a gorgeous tale of love and grief, and the gap between fairy tales and real life. 650 0 $a Brothers $x Death $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grief $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Islands $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Selkies $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Lesbians $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409031334.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1631A2FA738611E889ECAE0C97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
