Outstanding depiction of The Little Mermaid tale, as seen through the lens of a semi-fictional take of the world of P.T. Barnum. The mermaid is not a beautiful, beckoning creature but a mystifying, eerie creature that seems more alien than human. The book follows her journey of love, heartache, exploitation and the healing that follows.
