The last time Esther Wilding?s beloved older sister Aura was seen, she was walking along the shore towards the sea. In the wake of Aura?s disappearance, Esther?s family struggles to live with their loss. To seek the truth about her sister?s death, Esther reluctantly travels from Tasmania to Copenhagen, and then to the Faroe Islands. On her journey, Esther is guided by the stories Aura left behind in her treasured journal; seven fairy tales about selkies, swans and women, alongside cryptic verses Aura wrote and had secretly tattooed on her body. The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding is about the far-reaches of sisterly love, the power of wearing your heart on your skin and the way life can transform when we find the courage to feel the fullness of both grief and joy. ?I was swept away by this triumphant and luminous story?
