'Steeped in fairytale and legend, The Bone Diver is an eerily beautiful reimagining of the myth of the selkie. I was swept away on these deep gothic currents.' * KATE GRIFFIN, author of Fyneshade * 'Dark, dreamy, and deliciously atmospheric - like all the best folktales do, The Bone Diver drew me in and would not let me go.' * C. E. McGill * 'Wonderfully gothic, damp and hopeful. The Bone Diver is a folktale within a folktale, telling a story that is both dark and luscious. Spoto writes about the sea as if she lives in it, and I didn't want to leave behind the world of ever-changing forests, haunted seas and selkies that she so confidently created.' * Jodie Matthews * 'In The Bone Diver, Spoto has carved a captivating, powerful tale of family ties made monstrous and tangled. This is folklore and love carved into something dangerous, brilliant and new.' * Lorraine Wilson *
