Summary
In the closing hours of World War II, an experimental weapon meant for London struck Eilean nan Sìthean, a remote Scottish island. Within 48 hours, all of the men there died. Six months later, the few women who survived gave birth to the children of the plague - the Fair Folk of Scottish mythology, reborn. Nearly 70 years later, a young gold named Màiri discovers an outsider washed ashore - the first human she’s ever seen. Saving his life would mean spending the rest of her days with a stranger, the sworn enemy of her people. But she cannot let him die alone.

A magical journey of self-discovery.
The strange world of Outsider captures the beauty and the terror of beings whose gender is assigned not at birth but at adolescence, when they must discover and navigate their future...
A tale of twists and turns, prospects and surprises, set on a Scottish island exposed to radiation a few generations back and shunned by the outside world. The inhabitants are only vaguely aware of how different their various mutations are, yet somehow they must bond and reproduce.
Beautifully brought to life by the soft lilt of the narrator, who invests each character with a distinctive and engaging persona.
All in all, an audio delight.
