Description

In 1873, three Norwegian women were brutally attacked on a small bleak island off the coast of New Hampshire. Two were murdered, but the third, Maren Hontvedt, escaped to witness a local man's execution for the crime. More than a century later, Jean, a photojournalist, travels to the island on a research assignment to investigate the murder. Eventually she stumbles upon Maren's translated memoirs, which are carefully preserved among the faded photographs, mildewed letters and yellowing guidebooks of the Isle of Shoals archives. As she immerses herself in the tale of love and loss, the ancient story begins to affect her behaviour, driving her to wild, impulsive action - with irreversible consequences.
