Eve is a professional mermaid who swims in the world's largest aquariums. But no one can imagine the broken, shattered woman hidden behind her silicone tail. Someone hurt her, and one day she will settle the score. In the meantime, from Geneva to Tokyo, Brisbane to Dubai, she travels the globe, a glamorous and artificial icon of a world weary from a surfeit of desires. Through her unique destiny, Joseph Incardona revisits the myth of the mermaid, part Monte Cristo, part Cronenberg, showing readers humankind on the verge of losing its soul.
