Acerca de esta escucha

From the author of Lost Boy comes a beautiful historical fairy tale about a mermaid who leaves the sea, only to become the star attraction of history's greatest showman.

Once there was a mermaid called Amelia who could never be content in the sea, a mermaid who longed to know all the world and all its wonders, and so she came to live on land.

Once there was a man called P. T. Barnum, a man who longed to make his fortune by selling the wondrous and miraculous, and there is nothing more miraculous than a real mermaid.

Amelia agrees to play the mermaid for Barnum and walk among men in their world, believing she can leave anytime she likes. But Barnum has never given up a money-making scheme in his life, and he's determined to hold on to his mermaid.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Beautifully written and daringly conceived, The Mermaid is a fabulous story, in both senses of that word. It's full of magic and passion and courage, set against a convincing historical backdrop in which women, much less mermaids, have only the power they seize for themselves. Henry's spare, muscular prose is a delight. I loved this novel." (Louisa Morgan, author of The Secret History of Witches)

"There is a current of longing that runs through The Mermaid: longing for the sea, for truth, for love. It is irresistible and will sweep you away." (Ellen Herrick, author of The Sparrow Sisters)

"In her latest novel, The Mermaid, Christina Henry weaves a captivating tale of an intriguing young woman who finds herself in the world of the greatest showman, PT Barnum. Original and magical, this is a novel to dive into and savour." (Hazel Gaynor, New York Times best-selling author of The Cottingley Secret)

On the fence

Though I absolutely loved "Lost Boy", and "Alice" by this author I'm sort of on the fence with "The Mermaid" it was an OK story , written by a very good author, yet in a sense was a let down for me as I do enjoy this author's twisted perspectives of familiar stories , which Mermaid was lacking. Not bad, yet for me, nothing to get me thinking or talking or wanting more .

very creative and interesting

I enjoyed this. I wasn't sure when I first started if I was going to like it cuz I normally go for fantasy genre. Of course this is fantasy but I'm talking about sword and sorcery fantasy. This was enjoyable. and it had a surprisingly happy ending.

not my favorite

I loved Lost Boys, Alice, Red Queen all of these audio books kept me wanting to listen to stories from Christina Henry. (Even with the Red Queen that ended so so) This is a easy listening story, too easy and a little boring at times. This story takes liberties from history which is something I like about Henry's story telling, she reinvents . But there is no real back story and the story is missing so many opportunities to be be imaginative.

Good story, good narration

I really enjoyed the beginning of the story. It made me wish they had spent more time in that Northeast fishing village. History was sprinkled in to make this feel less of a fantasy novel, and added more emotion to the storyline.

A little disappointing

The story wasn't bad but after Lost boys and Alice, there's a certain expectation that wasn't reached in this book

wonderful

I've read almost every single Christina Henry book, and I put this one off to the end. it was very enjoyable and I love Amelia as a character. Henry does an excellent job showing the hypocrisy and unfair treatment of women through her writing.
