Mermaid

Written by Jodi Picoult

Narrated by Laurie Veldheer

There’s always more beneath the surface.

Once, Hope Payne was a mermaid, performing at the local theme park and captivating audiences young and old.

Today, she’s married to a pragmatic marine biologist who has filled the pool in their backyard with flounder for a special study. Before he begins, the fish vanish—echoing a loss Hope alone can understand. She senses there’s something underwater, something alive and hungry for more, but is she in too deep to ever resurface?

New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult’s “Mermaid” is a spellbinding short story about the sacrifice it takes to swim again.

Reviews for Mermaid

[Madelén Guttormsen · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I thought it was going to be a fantasy mermaid story, when it really proved to give me less associations to The Little Mermaid and more associations to The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. I understand the choices Picoult made, and I think she accomplished what she was trying to do. I also understand the perplexed reviews of 'what the hell did I just read' becuase I thought the same thing once I put it down, but I'd recommend digging deeper into it. It's a bit of homework, but I found it to be worth it.

Ok.i think her longer books are much better. I think the start was great but then I kind of lost interest

[FS · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I liked it, but I like the longer works of Jodi Picoult better. Nevertheless this is a good story, well presented, which gives you something to think about.
