The Strongman And The Mermaid by Kathleen Shoop

3.0

This is a good story with some great characters, weaving real emotional moments in with the gritty reality of life in the early decades of the 20th century in America. The stories reflect the difficulties of the language barriers, the prejudice, and the prevalence of discrimination along side the moments that are uplifting and restore hope. I did find the story did slow down a little much in places but overall this was a good read that is a little different from my usual stuff but was more enjoyable because of it.
