Set among the lush landscape of the Caribbean, 'The Mermaid of Black Conch' spins an enchanting tale of Aycayia, a young woman cursed to live as a mermaid. After centuries in isolation, she is irresistibly drawn to David, a fisherman whose music echoes across the waters. When captured by tourists, David becomes Aycayia's unexpected savior, setting her on a transformational journey back to humanity. Amidst the shifting tides of their coastal village, their deepening bond challenges the boundaries of love, identity, and the ancient magic that binds them. Monique Roffey crafts a narrative that is at once intimate and expansive, a modern-day myth that resonates with the timeless rhythm of the sea.
