Lost in her ealy thirties, Summer has no job, no friends and no boyfriend. Only one passion punctuates her solitary existence: ballroom dancing.
Determined to persevere, and under the tutelage of the legendary, feocious Donny, Summer embarks on a quest for the perfect partner. Yet the repressed memories of her painful, traumatic past continue to haunt her on and off the stage. As Summer continues her desperate search for connection and partnership, will she finally realise that what she's really looking for is herself?
Written with feeling, flair and rhythm, The Mermaid's Tale is a beautiful solo dance of a novel-a story about self-love, freedom and feeling the music.
