Omschrijving
One September evening in 1785, one of Jonah Hancock's captains arrives - having sold Jonah's ship for what appears to be a mermaid. As gossip spreads through the docks, coffee shops, parlours and brothels, this marvel spins him out of his ordinary existence and through the doors of high society. A spell-binding story of curiosity and obsession, filled to the brim with intelligence, heart and wit.
Imogen Hermes Gowar studied Archaeology, Anthropology and Art History before going on to work in museums. She began to write fiction inspired by the artefacts she worked with, and in 2013 won the Malcolm Bradbury Memorial Scholarship to study for an MA in Creative Writing at UEA. The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock was a finalist in the MsLexia First Novel Competition and shortlisted for the inaugural Deborah Rogers Foundation Writers' Award.
