The Mermaid Girl: A Story by Erika Swyler

4.0

Four stars *only if* you read The Book of Speculation. Otherwise a reader likely won’t appreciate The Mermaid Girl. Once again, I found Erika Swyler’s writing to be beautiful and poetic. She crafts a story so well. It was a nice short story that gives a bit of background to Paulina and Daniel. I would love to read more of these short stories about some other characters from The Book of Speculation - in particular, Madame Ryzhkova.
