The Visitors by Simon Sylvester

This was a fascinating read! I'd never known about selkies or other Scottish mythology, and I must say, this has got me hooked! The setting, the writing and the plot were all great, and like all selkie stories, have a grim and grey tone. Absolutely love it!
However, there are a couple of loose ends that nag me - why did the Dobies decide to start life on land if they were all selkies? Was Annie a human? How did Ailsa end up dying, was it from her injuries? Was Anders a selkie or his woman? If someone could answer these, I'd really appreciate it!
