Now an archaeologist, her job is to dig deeper into the past, but her excavation at Ullaness, on Scotland's west coast, has a very personal resonance. For the headland of Ullaness holds not only the secrets of the legend of Ulla, the Norsewoman, but also begins the strange story of Ellen.\n\nLibby's grandmother passed on these tales—of love, betrayal, and loss—but the more Libby learns at Ullaness, the more twisted the threads become. When human remains are discovered in the dunes, it becomes clear that time and intention have distorted accounts of what happened there. Is it too late to uncover the truth? Or is Libby herself in danger of being caught up in this tangled web of fable and deceit?\n\n\u003cb\u003ePraise for Sarah Maine:\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003ci\u003e'An echo of Daphne du Maurier' - \u003cb\u003eIndependent\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n\u003ci\u003e'Maine adroitly weaves together the three strands of her novel' - \u003cb\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n\u003ci\u003e'Maine writes beautifully about the wilderness' - \u003cb\u003eThe Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n\u003ci\u003e'Maine skillfully balances a Daphne du Maurier atmosphere with a Barbara Vine-like psychological mystery...' - \u003cb\u003eKirkus\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47601397006572,"sku":"9781473639737","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781473639737-women-of-the-dunes.jpg?v=1777999266"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/sarah-maine.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
