Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Elizabeth Stuckey-French succeeds brilliantly in a remarkable and difficult and enormously entertaining artistic challenge: she portrays the antic surface of popular culture and reveals the profound human yearnings beneath it. Mermaids on the Moon is a funny, smart, and deeply affecting novel, and with it Elizabeth Stuckey-French emerges as one of our finest young writers."
–Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize—winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain

"Hilarious and wacky, this story displays a variety of family loves and disappointments in a quirky, original way. The reader is sure to find a surprise on every page." –Elizabeth Strout, author of Amy and Isabelle
