"Wonderful... completely transporting." --Madeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Circe and The Song of Achilles

In 1780s London, a prosperous merchant finds his quiet life upended when he unexpectedly receives a most unusual creature--and meets a most extraordinary woman--in this much-lauded, atmospheric debut that examines our capacity for wonder, obsession, and desire with all the magnetism, originality, and literary magic of The Essex Serpent.

One September evening in 1785, Jonah Hancock hears an urgent knocking on his front door near the docks of London. The captain of one of Jonah's trading vessels is waiting eagerly on the front step, bearing shocking news. On a voyage to the Far East, he sold the Jonah's ship for something rare and far more precious: a mermaid. Jonah is stunned--the object the captain presents him is brown and wizened, as small as an infant, with vicious teeth and claws, and a torso that ends in the tail of a fish. It is also dead.

As gossip spreads through the docks, coffee shops, parlors and brothels, all of London is curious to see this marvel in Jonah Hancock's possession. Thrust from his ordinary existence, somber Jonah finds himself moving from the city's seedy underbelly to the finest drawing rooms of high society. At an opulent party, he makes the acquaintance of the coquettish Angelica Neal, the most desirable woman he has ever laid eyes on--and a shrewd courtesan of great accomplishment. This meeting sparks a perilous liaison that steers both their lives onto a dangerous new course as they come to realize that priceless things often come at the greatest cost.

Imogen Hermes Gowar, Britain's most-heralded new literary talent, makes her debut with this spellbinding novel of a merchant, a mermaid, and a madam--an unforgettable confection that explores obsession, wonder, and the deepest desires of the heart with bawdy wit, intrigue, and a touch of magic.

An incredible and Amazing Life Changing Book!
Format: Paperback
This book has changed my life! Extremely in depth and thorough research by the author, yet his writing style is very enjoyable to read. He presents the material to the reader so that it can be enjoyed and understood. He has great knowledge of the Greek language and has translated many versus of scripture throughout the bible to bring out a better meaning of those scriptures. Rick Renner has brought up points throughout the book that has changed my way of thinking; starting with the Bible itself, and how it can change you, Prayer, the Holy Spirit, Worship, Ablaze for Souls, Generosity, Holiness, Humility, Authority of the Believer, and Fear of the Lord. I especially appreciate his teaching on being ablaze for souls, where he discussed the reality of Hell, and how we should all be out there witnessing to those who are lost. Every chapter I read, has stirred an awakening in me, and this book has been like a 'wake up call' to my life and the way I have been living. For every Christian out there, this a 'must need to read' book, and I highly recommend it.
