About This Book

A mermaid appears off an English seaside resort and inserts herself into the lives of holidaying families, drawing particular attention from two young women and their suitors. Her presence unsettles local manners and expectations, tests a pending engagement, and prompts debates about humanity, longing, and belonging. The narrative mixes light fantasy with wry social observation, moving between vivid seaside scenes and reflective commentary on desire, identity, and the limits of conventional society.

H. G. Wells

Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was an English writer and social commentator, renowned for his contributions to science fiction and social criticism. Often referred to as the 'father of science fiction,' Wells explored themes of technology, society, and human nature in his works. His notable titles include "The War of the Worlds," which depicts an alien invasion, and "The Time Machine," a pioneering narrative that delves into time travel. In addition to fiction, Wells wrote extensively on contemporary issues, as seen in works like "An Englishman Looks at the World."
