Eelgrass

No matter what I say...In Irish folklore a selkie is a seal who can take off her sealskin like a coat and become a woman seducing fishermen anywhere she goes. If he steals her sealskin she is bound to his home marrying him and mothering his children - unless she can find it and escape leaving her family on shore forever. In Eelgrass a lesbian reimagining of tales about women and the sea Efa is having too much fun to worry about stories. Too young to have earned respect in her village she spends her days roving with her beautiful and vivacious best friend Bettan -- until the night Bettan disappears into a rainstorm and Efa cant shake the certainty that shes been taken. Desperate to rescue her friend Efa seeks out the fishwives half-human fish who dwell under the tides and kill sailors with their sharp teeth and alluring songs. She doesnt expect to find Ninka an outrageous young woman who makes her feel giddy and who might be the key to unlocking her own courage.
