Think you know the story of the Little Mermaid? Think again...
Deep beneath the sea, off the cold Irish coast, Gaia is a young
mermaid who dreams of freedom from her controlling father. On her
first swim to the surface, she is drawn towards a human boy. She
longs to join his carefree world, but how much will she have to
sacrifice?
What will it take for the little mermaid to find her voice?
- Hans Christian Andersen's original fairy tale is reimagined through
a searing feminist lens, with the stunning, scalpel-sharp
writing and world building that has won Louise her legions of devoted
fans.
- A book with the darkest of undercurrents, full of rage and rallying
cries: storytelling at its most spellbinding.
