The author weaves an amazing story of adventure, magic and love.A man,  Manonnan McLir, comes from the sea with the mist and changes a village and one girl's life forever.Renny lives in fear of her father, Oshin.  Later we see what kind of despicable person this man truly is when he tries to sell her and schemes with a potential suitor to rape her so that she will be forced to marry him--a man she detests.  Women in the village are second class citizens with no rights, no voice --this is not such a farfetched notion when one considers how women are treated in some Islamic countries.  Manonnan comes to her rescue for the second time.  He teaches her how to read and to write.  He teaches her the healing powers of herbs and also how to see into the future.  She loses her heart to Manannon but their love is a bittersweet one.
