'A remarkable feat of imagination ... I enjoyed and admired it in equal measure' Sarah Perry, author of THE ESSEX SERPENT

1627. In a notorious historical event, pirates raided the coast of Iceland and abducted 400 people into slavery in Algiers. Among them a pastor, his wife, and their children.

In her acclaimed debut novel Sally Magnusson imagines what history does not record: the experience of Asta, the pastor's wife, as she faces her losses with the one thing left to her - the stories from home - and forges an ambiguous bond with the man who bought her. Uplifting, moving, and sharply witty, THE SEALWOMAN'S GIFT speaks across centuries and oceans about loss, love, resilience and redemption.
