Originally published in Great Britain by Peepal Tree Press, Leeds, in 2020.
1976. David is fishing off the island of Black Conch when he comes upon a creature he doesn't expect: a mermaid by the name of Aycayia. Once a beautiful young woman, she was cursed by jealous wives to live in this form for the rest of her days. When she is caught by American tourists, David rescues and hides her away in his home-- and once out of the water she begins to transform back into a woman. David works to win Aycayia's trust while she relearns what it is to be human, navigating not only her new body but also her relationship with others on the island, a difficult task after centuries of loneliness. As they juggle both the joys and the dangers of life on shore, will she be able to escape her curse? -- adapted from jacket
