A Caribbean retelling of The Little Mermaid, and the book that the musical, Once on this Island, is based on. While the characters were a bit one dimensional and the story was incredibly frustrating, it was wonderfully tragic. Rosa Guy masterfully tells the story of a young, naive woman while tackling issues of classism and colorism. This book should be revered as a classic.
