'Spellbinding . . . I could not put The Swell down' Anya Bergman 'A deeply satisfying, deftly woven novel of female power and resistance' Anna Hope 'Addictive and twisty' Liza Klaussman IN PLACES OF DARKNESS, WOMEN WILL RISE . . . Iceland, 1910. In the middle of a severe storm two sisters - Freyja and Gudrún - 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.
