About this book
Meet the real little mermaid as she navigates the tricky currents of love, sacrifice and sea foam. Our lovely main character is willing to give up on her life in the sea to have a human soul, instead of turning into foam when she’ll die like any other mermaid. But to have such a soul, she must marry a human who would offer her half of his own. She then meets a prince, and she trades her voice against legs just to walk by his side. But their relationship is not what she expected, and her dreams are shattered. This heart-breaking fairytale is about what we’re willing to lose in order to be free. Andersen’s prose paints beautifully sorrow, hope and longing. If you think you know the Little Mermaid, dive into the original story and lose yourself in both the magic and the darkness of it.
