"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Title: Dancing on Knives
Author: Kate Forsyth
Expected Publication: June 2, 2015
Summary:
At twenty, Sara is tormented by an inexplicable terror so profound she hasn't left her home in five years. Like the mermaid in the fairytale her Spanish grandmother once told her, Sara imagines she is Dancing on Knives, unable to speak. She feels suffocated by her family, especially her father – the famous artist Augusto Sanchez – whose volcanic passions dominate their lives.
Then one stormy night, her father does not come home. His body is found dangling from a cliff face. Astonishingly, he is still alive, but the mystery of his fall can only be solved by the revelation of long-held family secrets.
Why I am lurking on this: It says mermaids, and not just any kind, but the lore where they feel like knives stabbing their feet as they walk on land. Can't pass this up! Even though I haven't even touched the other trilogy by Forsyth still laying around on my pile...
I love mermaids. I still believe mermaids are real, like the unicorns 😀

Sounds amazing! I was just telling my son this week that the original story of The Little Mermaid is not at all happy... so this is perfect timing for me!

Whoa, that sounds good, and I mean, I haven't heard anything like it, so... 😀
recently posted... Review: Everything That Makes You
Oh! This sounds awesome! I've always loved that bit of mermaid lore where walking on land feels like knives. It always made the little mermaid story so much better, since it's even more of a sacrifice for her.
Ooh, this sounds pretty intriguing. I love anything with mermaids so that is definitely drawing me in. Nice pick and thanks for stopping by!
