The Last Mermaid by Shana Abe Bantam, June, 2004. Paperback, 580 pages. ISBN: 0553584979 Subgenre: Fantasy Ordering information: Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk 
Prince Aedan of the British Isles has never believed in the legends
of a beautiful siren who lives on the enchanted island of Kell.
But when his ship is attacked, Aedan is saved by the siren herself,
Ione. But Aedan fulls a strong pull of duty -- his kingdom and his
people need him. So begins the fascinating trilogy which winds
together three stories -- one set in medieval times, one in the 18th
century and one in modern-day. All three stories are linked by
an old legend about a siren who lives on a magical island and
a man with whom she is linked. The stories are all told
in different voices, with differing points of view -- which gives
the reader three different persectives on the story. Shana Abe
has an interesting way with words, and her characters are
complex. They really struggle to make the right decisions. These three
powerful and magical love stories are the perfect summer read.
