Fun Fact

A vencedora do Costa Award deste ano fez uma campanha de crowdfunding para pagar uma campanha de publicidade que divulgasse o seu livro.

Disponível no SCRIB, mas apenas em audio.

THE MERMAID OF BLACK CONCH weaves together myth and magical realism to tell a story of a cursed woman denied a rite of passage, surrendering to romantic and erotic love.

My mermaid is a woman whose story is reimagined and retold. In my novel, 'Sweet Voice' re-emerges in her human form and lives on land, again, for a short time. She is an exiled young woman, an outcast, a woman shunned by her tribe. She has endured millennia of loneliness and she is a woman with shamanic instincts. In this novel she comes back to live on a very different Caribbean island, Black Conch, in 1976.
