About this listen
Escape to the ocean with the entrancing, unforgettable winner of the Costa Book of the Year.
Features original music created for the audiobook.
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 forever....

A mythical find!
It's a love story and blending myth with reality. The narration's authentic Caribbean accent pulls you right into the setting. Though the pace is slow, it mirrors the laid-back island life, with beautiful descriptions and authentic characters. It's an unusual, enchanting tale that offers a refreshing break from my usual reads!
