(2) YA Gossips on the Isle of Man say that Neen Marrey's father drowned and her mother was a merrow, or mermaid. Scavenging among the sea wrack (and the local folklore) for answers, Neen glimpses an amazing truth. Braxton-Smith's forceful, musical prose seems born from the very waters of her setting--the Irish Sea, at a time when Norsemen still raided and selkies, merrows, and krakens were considered to be real. Glos.
