Steeped in Newfoundland's unique folklore and superstitions,
A Seal of Salvage
is a coming-of-age novel about unrequited love between adolescent boys that slips between history and mythology.
Set in 1950s rural outport Newfoundland and blending historical fiction with magic realism,
follows orphan Oliver Brown's coming of age as a queer outsider. Oliver's life in the small community of Salvage is overshadowed by lingering rumours about his mother, her mysterious past, and her untimely death.
But as Oliver grows up, he experiences a remarkable series of events of mythic proportions. Stories of Oliver's mother become entangled with the folklore of the Selkie: people of the sea who live in the water as seals and come to land to find love as humans. While mostly unspoken, the speculations about Oliver's bloodline become another excuse the town uses to marginalize him.
explores the space where the natural and supernatural meet, as well as how the stories people tell can be fashioned to justify their own prejudice.
