In the house where she spent her honeymoon twenty years before, she begins another journey, from grief to serenity and unexpected harvest. Suffused with exquisite aquatic imagery that reflects the currents in Dagmar's own moods, The Seal Woman charts the interplay of myth and language between the hemispheres". Printed in Australia.
