Book Review

I found The Sealwoman’s Gift to be a beautiful story. Sally Magnusson has written a love story, a tragedy, an adventure story and a story of hope.

Sally Magnuson has a beautiful turn of phrase at times. She tenderly uses storytelling as a way of connecting not only families, but uniting different nationalities and as a way of crossing generations.

There is a lot of action in The Sealwoman’s Gift but it never feels hurried and is tenderly told. Asta’s story is told with empathy and compassion. Sally Magnuson explores how we don’t always choose who we fall in love with, love can fade and how it can be reignited.

I had a good weep at the end of the story, and for me that’s always a good sign! For beautiful writing and a story well told, I really recommend Sally Magnusson’s The Sealwoman’s Gift.
