The Grace Keepers is the debut novel by Kirsty Logan, a young Scottish author. This is truly an otherworldy novel that transports the reader to the misty islands of Scotland where the world is divided between “landlockers” those who live on the mainland, and “damplings” those who live on boats on the sea.

It tells the story of Callanish, a young woman who lives a lonely existence tending to burials in the sea, and North, a young woman who lives with her bear as part of a floating circus.The novel is filled with Scottish myths and folklore. A beautifully written, magical, melancholy tale that leaves the reader breathless.
