**From the bestselling author of Longbourn comes the magical story of

"Baker's writing seduces." --*O, The Oprah Magazine
Malin has always been different, and when her father dies, leaving her
alone, her choice is clear: stay, and remain an outsider forever, or
leave in search of the mythical inheritance she is certain awaits her.
Apprenticed to a series of strange and wonderful characters, Malin
embarks on a grueling journey that crosses oceans and continents--from
the high seas to desert plains--and leads to a discovery that she could
never have expected. Beautifully written and hauntingly strange, The
Mermaid's Child is a remarkable piece of storytelling, and an utterly
unique work of fantasy from literary star Jo Baker.
