Hawkfall and Other Stories

Hawkfall, the central story, traces the vicissitudes, violence and hypocrisies which recur over many generations; in The Drowned Rose, the ghosts of dead lovers, still in love with the things of this world, mix with the living, while Sealskin explores the relationship between legend, art and life. All stories in this glorious collection are richly entertaining, poignant and moving, their universal theme realised in the contect of their unique island setting.
