Items related to The Mermaids Singing
There is an island off the west coast of Ireland called Inis Muruch—the Island of the Mermaids—a world where myth is more powerful than truth, and love can overcome even death. It is here that Lisa Carey sets her lyrical and sensual first novel, weaving together the voices and lives of three generations of Irish and Irish-American women.
Years ago, the fierce and beautiful Grace stole away from the island with her small daughter, Gráinne, unable to bear its isolation. Now Gráinne, is motherless at fifteen, and a grandmother she has never met has come to take her back. Her heart is pulled between a life in which she no longer belongs and a family she cannot remember. But only on Inis Muruch can she begin to understand the forces that have torn her family apart.

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Lisa Carey is the author of The Mermaids Singing, In the Country of the Young, and Love in the Asylum. She lived in Ireland for five years and now resides in Portland, Maine, with her husband and their son.
On Inis Muruch, the island of mermaids, off the Irish shore, Cliona and Grainne, grandmother and granddaughter, are drawn together by the haunting beauty of this seashore after Grace (the mother) dies of breast cancer. Each woman tells the tale of her life and her relationship with the other women. Maxwell brings to the surface the passion and longing in their lives as each struggles to understand her inner needs. Strangely non-interactive, the women in The Mermaids Singing cannot talk to each other except in their heads, leaving the listener wondering who hears the haunting strains of loneliness and suffering in this book.
