A heart-aching novel that resonated with me on a level I did not know existed. It's a book I strongly recommend., Vallgren will send you into new imaginative depths with The Merman, his unexpectedly arresting saga of magic realism. It is a revelation, and a riveting one at that. Packed with bracing and utterly believable brutality; it does not flutter but treads heavily, with deep social and literary purpose. This novel hooks you quietly, though insistently, with the gathering sense that events are pulsing toward something volatile and spectacular., There are some nicely observed episodes here and disturbing metaphors that offer brilliant, brief illuminations of his brutal subject matter., Vallgren's merman sits, tonally, directly across from Disney's Ariel. His riveting newly translated novel, The Merman, aligns more with his Scandinavian predecessor Hans Christian Andersen. There is nothing fanciful about this merman and his existence. There's a trembling beauty to the darkness in this book and how it views hope., Vallgrenhas written a deeply dark novel. Nella's wise stoicism makes her a memorableand affecting character, and her connection to the mistreated merman shows thatworking toward understanding is what can ultimately lead to redemption. A grimand moving contemporary fairy tale., There are some nicely observed episodes here and disturbing metaphors that offer brilliant, brief illuminations of his brutal subject matter., Realistic and heartbreaking. A dark fairy tale about a mythical creature from the deep and the possibility of resisting evil. Nella is a burdened but strong and compassionate young woman and wins the reader's heart. Vallgren evokes his fantasy element with wonder and detail; The Merman is a singular story. Fans of adult fairy tales and bleak realism will be haunted and enthralled by this novel of human tragedies, and the mystery of what lies beyond., Sensational. Vallgren has a superb talent, and makes witty and convincing cameos of the infamous and the great.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
