Legend of the Selkie

Legend of the Selkie

Daisy O'Shea
Contemporary Fiction, Literary Fiction

Set against the rugged backdrop of West Cork, Ireland, this moving novel weaves modern life with a wisp of myth and tradition.

Grainne, a determined city girl, finds herself transplanted to a rural farming community after falling for a young Irish farmer. But as she navigates the close-knit village, its wild coastline, and a lingering tradition of storytelling, Grainne begins to see the cracks between her modern perspective and the deeply rooted culture around her.

With a wistful nod to the selkie legend, this tale explores the clash between Ireland’s rural heritage and the encroaching commercial world. Through Grainne’s eyes, readers are immersed in the beauty, struggles, and superstitions of a community tied to its land—and to its stories.
