Mermaids in Paradise

In this "comic masterpiece" (Salon), honeymooners Deb and Chip-our opinionated, skeptical narrator and her cheerful jock husband-befriend a marine biologist who discovers mermaids in a coral reef. As a resort chain swoops in to exploit the shy creatures, the newlyweds unite with other adventurous vacationers to stop the company from turning the reef into a theme park. Mermaids in Paradise is Lydia Millet's most fun book yet, tempering the sharp satire of her early career with the empathy and subtlety of her more recent novels and short stories.
