JOHN SAYLES

Plot

When 10-year-old Fiona goes to live on the north western coast of Ireland with her grandparents, she is intrigued by the mysterious, seemingly fantastic, stories of the mythical Selkies, part human, part seal, and the local belief that her baby brother, who was washed out to see long before, is being raised by them. When she spots a naked little boy on the beautiful abandoned island of Roan Inish she decides to uncover....'The Secret of Roan Inish'. A lovely magical tale for all ages.
