BRIDGET COLLINS 'Brilliant' CLARE CHAMBERS Near the island of Black
Conch, a fisherman sings to himself while waiting for a catch. But
David attracts a sea-dweller that he never expected - Aycayia, an
innocent young woman cursed by jealous wives to live as a mermaid.
When American tourists capture Aycayia, David rescues her and vows
to win her trust. Slowly, painfully, she transforms into a woman
again. Yet as their love grows, they discover that the world around
them is changing - and they cannot escape the curse for ever . . .
'A bittersweet love story . . . A joy to read' BBC News 'A fiercely
modern mermaid story' The Times 'Wondrous . . . A striking
achievement' Sunday Times 'Not your standard mermaid' MARGARET
