Description
In places of darkness, women will rise . . .
Iceland, 1910. In the middle of a severe storm, two sisters - Freyja and Gudrun - rescue a mysterious, charismatic man from a shipwreck near their remote farm.
Sixty-five years later, a young woman - Sigga - is spending time with her grandmother when they learn a body has been discovered on a mountainside near Reykjavik, perfectly preserved in ice.
Moving between the turn of the 20th century and the 1970s as a dark mystery is unravelled, The Swell is a spellbinding, beautifully atmospheric read, rich in Icelandic myth.
Two sisters, one shipwreck, and a story demanding to be told.

Rich in Icelandic culture and myth, The Swell delves into themes of survival, fate, and the power of women in the face of overwhelming odds. The slow unraveling of the mystery keeps you hooked, while the evocative prose captures both the stark beauty and the dangers of the land. This is a story about women rising in the face of adversity, and the secrets that refuse to stay buried beneath the surface. I couldn’t put it down.
