About this listen

'Thoroughly bewitching. Kat Gordon's spare prose is as beautiful as it is haunting' - Freya Berry, author of The Birdcage Library

In places of darkness, women will rise . . .

Iceland, 1910. In the middle of a severe storm two sisters - Freyja and Gudrun - 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.
