![]() ![]() Beautifully written and compulsively readable, Mermaid will make you think twice about the fairytale you heard as a child, keeping you in suspense until the very last page.

Carolyn Turgeon - Mermaid: A Twist on the Classic Tale, Paperback - A surprising take on Hans Christian Andersons classic tale, Mermaid is the story of two. By the time Margrethe reaches the shore, the mermaid has disappeared into the sea. One gloomy, windswept morning as she stands in a convent garden overlooking the icy sea, she witnesses a miracle: a glittering mermaid emerging from the waves, a nearly drowned man in her arms. I loved being swept into the mermaids world of an underwater sea palace, hair floating in the water, shimmering hard skin, tail powerfully propelling the mermaid through the depths, the fish the mermaids ate as they swam by, the treasure chests and adventures in sunken boats. Princess Margrethe has been hidden away while her kingdom is at war. Ok, at first I loved the book, Id say the first 120 pages or so. A surprising take on Hans Christian Anderson's classic tale, Mermaid is the story of two women with everything to lose. ![]()
