About this audiobook
The arrival of a mermaid into polite society disrupts the rigid conventions of coastal life, as her presence exposes the artificiality of human manners. While the community tries to integrate her into their mundane world, her call to the deep stirs a longing for something wilder and more primal in those she encounters. This satirical fantasy contrasts the suffocation of social expectations with the freedom of the elemental.
