In the medieval splendour of St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, three women gather to mourn the untimely passing of Robbie: Robbie's widow, Tessa; Tessa's old childhood friend, Christine, and Christine's unstable and unreliable sister, Lindsay. But as secrets are gradually revealed the past and present collide with unexpected and devastating results. The Oystercatcher Girl is a story of betrayal and redemption, and is as beautiful and secretive as the Orkney of its setting. "The Oystercatcher Girl is a wonderfully evocative and deftly woven story" (Sara Bailey)
