Title: Talargain
Description: In a blend of history and the current day, a lonely young woman meets with a strange young man whose life was lived thirteen centuries ago in the Farne Islands.  Not quite a ghost, not quite a selkie, not quite a human man, not quite the person who he thought he'd been, he tells his story to Lucy and brings his own era to vivid life.

A beautiful book, and one that will linger in your memory long after the final page.
