In this breathless and beautifully crafted tale, twelve-year-old Neen Marrey must separate town gossip from town lore to learn the truth about her mother and herself. The people of Carrick Island have been whispering behind Neen s back ever since her father drowned and her mother disappeared. The townspeople say her mother was a merrow and has returned to the ocean. Neen, caught in her hazy new in-between self not a child, but not quite grown up can t help but wonder if the villagers are right. But if her mother was a merrow, then what does that make Neen?"

Picked up on strength of the cover.

I've been absent for a while. Moving, work, health, and running a bookstore online that desperately needs to be in a storefront have had me running pretty ragged. Gonna try to pop back in more regularly though- I always miss this place when I'm not here often enough lol

This was a short book about the sea and stories and traditions. It was pretty and very whimsical. Not totally my style though, I would have preferred some more characterization and detail.

Cozy bedtime read. A fairytale steeped in the folklore of the Isle of Man. Lovely prose and imagery.
