Description: Praise for The Mermaid That Came Between Them "As if the Brothers Grimm washed up on the shores of Grace Paley territory, The Mermaid That Came Between Them is a charming tale for the modern age. Carol Ann Sima has written a novel that is not only very funny and chock full of insights on love and loss, it is wondrous and wonderful." --Binnie Kirshenbaum, author of Hester Among the Ruins "Combining the whimsy of Peter Beagle with the eroticism of Francesca Lia Block, Carol Ann Sima delivers a postmodern Oedipal fairytale about finny love lost, regained, lost, and transcended. Along with a strong supporting cast, her trio of protagonists--writer Jacob Koleman, his son Mac, and the decidedly unstereotypical undersea siren Claritha--perform a kind of aquatic ballet of desires and confusions on dry land, to much amusement and pathos." --Paul Di Filippo, author of Strange Trades
