I read a book a while ago which I thought was great.... but I have forgotten the title!
It opens with a woman moving to the Shetland islands, and her horse dies so she has it buried in her fields. Upon digging the grave a woman’s body is found in the ground, and her body has all kinds of strange afflictions. Most notably that she was pregnant or had just given birth.
The woman is in a relationship with a guy on the island who is of good social standing but he doesn’t seem able to commit to her....
She befriends a policewoman And they begin to uncover a ghastly secret on the island - that her partner is involved in - woman are being taken away and forced to breed for the island, if they are unable or unwilling they are murdered....
Something along those lines!
Has anyone read a book like this ?! Help! :) x
