Review: The Fisherman's Wife by K. Stoddard Hayes


When Sean's wife, Muireen, finds her seal's skin, the selkie leaves despite his pleas for her to stay. Devastated, Sean doesn't know whether her love for him and the children is enough to make her come back to him. 


This third story in the Paramourtal anthology was astounding! I felt Sean's grief and Muireen's longing. Their love was tangible and seemed to flow off the page. This brilliant story should have been first in the anthology, in my opinion. It is the best so far and would have been a great way to start the anthology off. 


In a word, this story was


Astounding.


Find Paramourtal here. Join me tomorrow as I read and review the fourth story in Paramourtal!
