And Maeva's adoring husband, Pieter, wants nothing more than for his new family to be accepted by all.
Maeva tries to hide the girl from the suspicious townsfolk of the austere village of Orken, just as she conceals her own magical ancestry from her daughter.
Upon every turn of season, her mother, Maeva, worries as her daughter's peculiarities blossom-inside the root of the tiny child, a strange power is taking hold. In the hinterlands of old Norway, Leidah Pietersdatter is born blue-skinned, with webbed hands and feet. They don't feel the danger coming, riding in on the wind. An utterly gripping love story set in nineteenth-century Norway, about a woman rescued from the sea, the fisherman who marries her, their tiny and unusually gifted daughter, and the shapeshifter who follows their every move, perfect for fans of Alice Hoffman, Yangsze Choo, Eowyn Ivey, and Neil Gaiman.
