A woman’s story lost from history – in 1627 Icelandic islanders were abducted and sold into slavery in Algiers; but what happened to the women and children and, specifically, to the pastor’s wife?

Macclesfield Library Reading Group all thoroughly enjoyed reading and discussing The SealWoman's Gift some of our thoughts;
"An interesting account of history that amazed and astounded me"
"I Thoroughly enjoyed it- loved the dissonance between life in Finland and Algeria and the whole aspect of story-telling as a means to deal with a fractured life."
"I enjoyed this book. I got very involved with all the characters in the book and enjoyed the various themes of the story telling"
"I enjoyed the book, I was able to visualise some of the environmental descriptions which was good because it helps to act as a distraction from my own thoughts/images"
A beautifully written story about a little known part of history. Not a book I would have naturally chosen but I'm so glad it was recommended to me.
