Al largo dell’isola immaginaria di Black Conch, la melodia intonata da un pescatore incanta una sirena. Sono secoli che Aycayia, magnifica creatura mezza donna e mezza pesce, nuota nelle acque dei Caraibi e, alba dopo alba, la soavità del canto di quell’uomo la spinge a tornare a cercarlo. Tantissimi anni fa era una donna giovane, la più bella del suo villaggio, che la maledizione delle mogli gelose ha trasformato in un essere marino, intrappolandola nel corpo di un pesce. Un giorno, mentre crede di avvicinarsi alla barca che conosce, Aycayia si ritrova in balia di due turisti americani. A nulla le serve opporre resistenza: l’amo le si è conficcato nella gola e, dopo una lotta feroce, finisce per essere trascinata a terra come un trofeo. Sarà David, il pescatore dalla bella voce, a liberarla, e le sue cure e il suo amore la spoglieranno di pinne e squame, rimutandola in donna. Tra i loro due mondi, così infinitamente distanti, comincerà a vibrare un sentimento di fiducia, poi di indifeso abbandono, fino alla scoperta della passione, delicata e primitiva insieme. Ma non tutte le trasformazioni sono per sempre. Aycayia è libera, misteriosa, sensuale, giovane e antica, la forza arcana che sprigiona spaventa, sconvolgendo i fragili equilibri della piccola comunità a cui approda. E si sa: la gelosia – come l’amore – può avere la forza di un uragano, e durare persino più a lungo. Una fiaba moderna e dolceamara che intreccia abilmente, e con ironia, gli ingredienti del mito al pungente realismo del quotidiano.

WINNER OF THE COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD • This enchanting tale of a cursed mythical creature and the lonely fisherman who falls in love with her is "a daring, mesmerizing novel … single-handedly bringing magic realism up-to-date (Maggie O’Farrell, best-selling author of Hamnet). In 1976, David is fishing off the island of Black Conch when he comes upon a creature he doesn’t expect: a mermaid by the name of Aycayia. Once a beautiful young woman, she was cursed by jealous wives to live in this form for the rest of her days. But after the mermaid is caught by American tourists, David rescues and hides her away in his home, finding that, once out of the water, she begins to transform back into a woman. Now David must work to win Aycayia's trust while she relearns what it is to be human, navigating not only her new body but also her relationship with others on the island—a difficult task after centuries of loneliness. As David and Aycayia grow to love each other, they juggle both the joys and the dangers of life on shore. But a lingering question remains: Will the former mermaid be able to escape her curse? Taking on many points of view, this mythical adventure tells the story of one woman’s return to land, her healing and her survival.

Antonio Giangrande, orgoglioso di essere diverso. ODIO OSTENTAZIONE ED IMPOSIZIONE. Si nasce senza volerlo. Si muore senza volerlo. Si vive una vita di prese per il culo. Tu esisti se la tv ti considera. La Tv esiste se tu la guardi. I Fatti son fatti oggettivi naturali e rimangono tali. Le Opinioni sono atti soggettivi cangianti. Le opinioni se sono oggetto di discussione ed approfondimento, diventano testimonianze. Ergo: Fatti. Con me le Opinioni cangianti e contrapposte diventano fatti. Con me la Cronaca diventa Storia. Noi siamo quello che altri hanno voluto che diventassimo. Facciamo in modo che diventiamo quello che noi avremmo (rafforzativo di saremmo) voluto diventare. Rappresentare con verità storica, anche scomoda ai potenti di turno, la realtà contemporanea, rapportandola al passato e proiettandola al futuro. Per non reiterare vecchi errori. Perché la massa dimentica o non conosce. Denuncio i difetti e caldeggio i pregi italici. Perché non abbiamo orgoglio e dignità per migliorarci e perché non sappiamo apprezzare, tutelare e promuovere quello che abbiamo ereditato dai nostri avi. Insomma, siamo bravi a farci del male e qualcuno deve pur essere diverso!
