Evoking her magic, she transformed into a human so that she could live on land. But Jack, the fisherman who caught her, took one look at her wild eyes and cut her loose, knowing in his heart that she was meant to be free.īut to both their surprise, the mermaid returned to Jack, for she had looked into his eyes too and recognized not only a kindness there, but also a loneliness that she understood. In the waters off a small coastal town in Maine, she became entangled in a fishing net. The story follows a young mermaid who yearned to see more of the world beyond her watery realm, venturing further and further away from home following in the wake of human ships until one day she traveled a little too far and lost her way. The Mermaid turned out to be a slight departure from the previous fairy tale-inspired books by Christina Henry, delivering a historical fantasy with mythological leanings rather than a dark or horror retelling. This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own. I received a review copy from the publisher. Book Review: The Mermaid by Christina Henry
