The Mermaid (2018)
Creators: Mixed Once there was a mermaid called Amelia who could never be content in the sea, a mermaid who longed to know all the world and all its wonders, and so she came to live on land. Once there was a man called P. T. Barnum, a man who longed to make his fortune by selling the wondrous and miraculous, and there is nothing more miraculous than a real mermaid. Amelia agrees to play the mermaid for Barnum and walk among men in their world, believing she can leave anytime she likes. But Barnum has never given up a money-making scheme in his life.
Disliked
MixedAnd so yeah, it wasn't like my favorite christina henry book. Like i'm glad that i read it but it's definitely not her best. There is some interesting stuff that also happens in this book in terms of like the roles of women and like expectations and also kind of a discussion about like celebrity and things like that and sort of these ways that crowds become obsessed with people.
