In the second volume, she discovers metaphysical doubt while continuing on her way to modern times.

Winner of the 2020 Costa Book of the year, The Mermaid of Black Conch spins the enchanting tale of a cursed mythical creature and the lonely fisherman who falls in love with her. 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.

Now, David must work to win Aycayia's trust, while she re-learns 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's love grows, they navigate both the joys and dangers of life on shore. A lingering question remains: will the former mermaid be able to escape her curse

We like to think we understand what’s happening around us; that we can determine the path our life takes. But often, things don’t go that way – in fact, they rarely do. What helps us respond to life as it unfolds? To live freely, stay humble and find comfort in difficult times? Is it possible to silence our inner critic, and learn to become a friend to ourselves? In the Swedish sensation I May Be Wrong, former forest monk Björn Natthiko Lindeblad shows how letting go of our need for control is about finding the courage to face the uncertainty that is a natural part of life. We don’t choose our thoughts. We don’t control the shape they take, or what pops into our minds. We can only choose whether or not to believe them. Infusing the eve
