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.

Wow. Filled with hints of magic, folklore, culture and connection and healing from grief, transformation. Utterly beautiful ✨️ I chose to read Holly Ringland's first book by a happy coincidence as it is not a genre I would usually go for and I am so pleased to have listened to this straight afterwards. I finished both books in under 2 weeks, back to back, resonating with the characters, relishing the stories. This is my favourite of the two. I am sad to have come to the end and I will certainly listen again ✨️

Absolutely in love with this story
