About this listen

'A page-turning mystery. Spellbinding' Anya Bergman
'Captivating. A deeply satisfying, deftly woven novel of female power and resistance' Anna Hope
'Addictive and twisty' Liza Klaussman

Two sisters. A shipwreck. A story demanding to be told . . .

Iceland, 1910. In the middle of a severe storm two sisters - Freyja and Gudrún - rescue a mysterious, charismatic man from a shipwreck near their remote farm.

Sixty-five years later, a young woman - Sigga - is spending time with her grandmother when they learn a body has been discovered on a mountainside near Reykjavik, perfectly preserved in ice.

Moving between the turn of the 20th century and the 1970s as a dark mystery is unravelled, The Swell is a spellbinding, beautifully atmospheric listen, rich in Icelandic myth.
