Gaining recognition by being nominated for the Women's Prize for Fiction in 2018, the tale begins on a September evening in 1785. Merchant Jonah Hancock finds himself astounded when his captain returns, having exchanged Hancock’s ship for what appears to be a mermaid.As whispers of this bizarre transaction circulate through the docks, cafes, salons, and brothels, fascination with Mr. Hancock's strange possession intensifies. This unexpected turn of events catapults him from his mundane existence into the dazzling spheres of high society, where he crosses paths with Angelica Neal, a mesmerizing and skilled courtesan. Their encounter leads both of them down a risky and transformative journey.The novel delves into the costs of their desires and raises the question of whether they can escape the mythical destructive powers traditionally associated with a mermaid.
