Arms to caress or wings to fly? The protagonist of this story is a curious young mermaid with wings instead of a tail. After years of living in seclusion on an island paradise, ruled solely by a female authority, she decides to run away and see the world. The adventure takes her to places never seen before by mermaids and to discover humans...
In this recreation that is as contemporary as it is personal, Carme Riera is once again inspired by a mythical figure as a pretext for exploring the multiple forms, implications and contradictions of women's sensuality and desire.
“The Catalan author explores the sensuality of women in all its forms and contradictions, enhanced by the illustrations by Silja Goetz that turn it into a beautiful book. A fortunate foray into the fantasy genre by one of our most renowned storytellers.” La Vanguardia
