Alda, a logically minded seismologist has always been sceptical of her mother Fríða's belief in the strange Icelandic phenomena known as Huldufólk (Hidden People). But when the aging Fríða mysteriously disappears from her nursing home and sets off across country to save the Huldufólk from a threat to their homes, it is the start of an extraordinary journey for both women. Alda confronts her own demons and Fríða finally helps to uncover the truth of the mysterious events that led up to the death of her father six decades earlier. Through their journeys, and an imminent disaster on Black Beach, the two women come together with a more profound understanding of each other and themselves, proving the resilience and tenacity of the mother/daughter relationship against all odds.
Black Beach was informed in part by renowned Huldufólk seer and environmentalist Ragnhildur Jónsdóttir. Ragnhildur has given her full endorsement of the book - "This is the first time ever I have read a story about connection between the worlds, so real, so alive and so true. I love how it brings together the world of the "know it all" and the world of those who are always questioned, not believed and ridiculed. What a treat to read this story." Ragnhildur is the subject of current award winning realist documentary The Seer and the Unseen, directed by Sara Dosa.
