Rose Sutherland In conversation with Diana Davidson
Embracing romantic motifs of nature and the elements, as well as folktales and the supernatural, Rose's character-driven historical fiction centers LGBTQ people in the day-to-day life of the past. Influenced by an early love of classic literature, her stories examine themes of loneliness, isolation, and the secrets we keep from each other and ourselves: how they protect us and hold us back, seen through the eyes of women strong and smart enough to save themselves and those they love...and passionate enough to be their own biggest obstacle along the way. Sutherland’s novel, A Sweet Sting of Salt, tells the tale of a young woman in 19th century Nova Scotia who uncovers a magical secret about her neighbour, she’ll have to fight to keep the truth—and the woman she loves—safe in this stunning queer reimagining of the classic folktale The Selkie Wife.
