The Sea House is a haunting and beautifully crafted dual-timeline novel that weaves together past and present on the remote Scottish Isle of Harris. In the 1860s, a troubled minister investigates dark local legends of selkies (mythical seal-people), while in the 2000s, a young couple restoring the same manse uncovers hidden letters and a tiny skeleton buried beneath the floorboards—a discovery that unravels a long-buried secret connecting both timelines. Gifford masterfully blends Scottish folklore, historical injustice, and gothic mystery in a story about love, loss, and the unbreakable bonds that transcend time. It’s a spellbinding tale where the sea holds memories and myths whisper truths. 《海屋》是一部令人萦怀、文笔优美的双时间线小说，在偏远的苏格兰哈里斯岛上将过去与现在交织在一起。在1860年代，一位困扰的牧师调查关于海豹人（神话中的海豹族）的黑暗当地传说；而在2000年代，一对年轻夫妇在修复同一座牧师住宅时，发现了隐藏的信件和埋在地板下的一具微小骨架——这一发现揭开了一个连接两个时间线的、埋藏已久的秘密。吉福德精湛地融合了苏格兰民间传说、历史不公和哥特式悬疑，讲述了一个关于爱、失去和超越时间的牢不可破的纽带的故事。这是一个迷人的故事，其中大海承载着记忆，神话低语着真相。
