New Book Review: The Sirens by Emilia Hart was a deeply engrossing book and at the same time a book in which you must suspend all belief in reality. This is also a fiercely feminist novel that takes place in both the 1800s and in 2019.The 1800s timeline features sixteen-year-old twin sisters who see a ship coming ashore with a mermaid prow. This is pivotal to the plot that ensues. When one of the sisters is assaulted, the other hits the attacker with a rock and kills him, which leads them to being transported on a ship to New South Wales.On the flip, sixteen-year-old Lucy in the more current timeline, finds her sister Jess’s diary and soon realizes how different she is than her parents or sister. She has rare medical issue that makes her skin peel from water. Much more about her condition is explored and just wow!!The two timelines come together in a unique and satisfying way. Themes of strong female connections, family dynamics, sibling protection and art as a way to express oneself are woven through the story. I was gifted an audio copy from Macmillan Audio and really enjoyed the narrator’s voice.This one is definitely different from what I’d usually read and I’m super thankful that I did. Fantasy readers will totally love this one; I’d call it fantasy light. Enjoy. @emiliahartbooks @macmillan.audio @stmartinspress 📘: If you didn't have your current name, is there a name you'd like to be called? I wanted to be Brooke when I was little. It didn't stick!#macmillanaudio #emiliahart #stmartinspress #newbookreview #audiolistener #bookreader #kindlereader #bookrec #addtotbr #goodbookfairy ... See MoreSee Less
