7/5/2023 0 Comments Sea Hearts by Margo Lanagan![]() ![]() ![]() With themes that parallel contemporary issues in today’s world, Sea Hearts is an enthralling read that echoes in the mind long after the book is finished. I needed to know where Sea Hearts would end. There were times when the darkness in Sea Hearts was hard to bear but I couldn’t put the book down. But what secrets lie behind this apparent utopia? What is the cost of forcing creatures of the sea to live on land? A new nirvana is created in which sea women are the only females living in the fishing village of Rollrock, their children, only boys. In Sea Hearts, the legend of seals who shed their skin and walk on land is brought to life through the longing of simple fishermen and Misskaella’s ability. We also get to go beneath the ocean and live as a seal for a while. In Sea Hearts, we feel what it is like to be outcast, but also to have special powers. Margo Lanagan’s way with words takes you into a world that wouldn’t seem possible without her at your side. ![]()
