500    "A novel"--Cover. 
500    A modern day expansion of Hans Christian Andersen's The 
       little mermaid. 
520    "Kathleen has always been dramatic. She suffers from the 
       bizarre malady of experiencing stabbing pain in her feet. 
       On her sixteenth birthday, she woke screaming from the 
       sensation that her tongue had been cut out. No doctor can 
       find a medical explanation for her pain, and even the most
       powerful drugs have proven useless. Only the touch of 
       seawater can ease her pain, and just temporarily at that. 
       Now Kathleen is a twenty-five-year-old opera student in 
       Boston and shows immense promise as a soprano. Her 
       girlfriend Harry, a mezzo in the same program, worries 
       endlessly about Kathleen's phantom pain and obsession with
       the sea. Kathleen's mother and grandmother both committed 
       suicide as young women, and Harry worries they suffered 
       from the same symptoms. When Kathleen suffers yet another 
       dangerous breakdown, Harry convinces Kathleen to visit her
       hometown in Ireland to learn more about her family 
       history. In Ireland, they discover that the mystery--and 
       the tragedy--of Kathleen's family history is far older and
       stranger than they could have imagined. Kathleen's fate 
       seems sealed, and the only way out is a terrible choice 
       between a mermaid's two sirens--the sea, and her lover. 
       But both choices mean death..."--Cover page [4].
