Deeply
A love story about finding yourself from out of the greatest loss you can experience.
After the sudden and violent death of her first love, teenager Claire McKay retreats into herself.
Her mother Fiona brings her to Ironbound, a remote island, hoping the change from the city
may effect some healing magic. Ironbound had once been a thriving fishing community until
the fish stocks had mysteriously disappeared some fifty years prior. Its wild loneliness only augments
Claire's withdrawal until she meets Celia, an eccentric writer who tells her the story she
has been writing, a story not yet finished: Years before, when the fish still teemed and the
island bustled with an active industry, a child was born – a girl – who was nicknamed Silly and
the name stuck. When her eyes suddenly changed from brown to the hues of the sea, the
islanders looked at her knowingly. Silly grew up into a wild and untamed teenager, becoming
an eccentric outcast. Then came the day the fish disappeared, and the islanders looked at her
secretively, muttering about an ancient Viking curse. Every fifty years the fish mysteriously leave
the island waters. And every fifty years one innocent soul is doomed to live forever beneath
the waves in exchange for their bounty …
