My Mother the Mermaid, Review


My Mother the Mermaid is a about a woman who goes in search of her father after he goes missing. She hates her life, and can't decide about her boyfriend. Her mother is a foul mouthed masseuse. She finds her father in the fishing village on the island where her parents were from. Somehow she is transported back in time and meets her mother and father in their 20s and gets to watch their romance blossom.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to let go of baggage from their first family. This is a story of one person who manages to let go and move forward. It is also a story of how love can be smothered and forgotten by the desire for material things.

I will give it 3/5 acorns.
