Book excerpt: This enchanting tale of a cursed mythical creature and the lonely fisherman who falls in love with her is "a daring, mesmerizing novel…single-handedly bringing magic realism up-to-date" (Maggie O’Farrell, best-selling author of Hamnet). "Sentence by sensuous sentence, Roffey builds a verdant, complicated world that is a pleasure to live inside.... You might start to believe in the existence of mermaids.” —The New York Times 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. Once a beautiful young woman, she was cursed by jealous wives to live in this form for the rest of her days. But after the mermaid is caught by American tourists, David rescues and hides her away in his home, finding that, once out of the water, she begins to transform back into a woman. Now David must work to win Aycayia's trust while she relearns 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 grow to love each other, they juggle both the joys and the dangers of life on shore. But a lingering question remains: Will the former mermaid be able to escape her curse? Taking on many points of view, this mythical adventure tells the story of one woman’s return to land, her healing, and her survival.

Download or read book Conch Cooking written by Bonnie Villareal Padron and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming from six generations of Conchs, born and raised in a small town of Key West, Florida, where families were very connected. We all grew up as a family and shared many of our recipes, which are none like any other, nowhere to be found but in our small island. I remember when we would gather on weekends and share our recipes. We would sit out on the White Street pier with our folding chairs, fishing and crabbing as the children played. I have to say I miss that island. Key West people are so unique. If you look at our history, we are all related to each other somehow. One thing I can say is that Conchs (Key Westers as they call us) stick together. I remember going to the beach as a child, and the families would get the grill going, pull out the big cast-iron skillet, fill it with lard, and cook shiners (mahua), a little shiny fish, which they would fry till they were crispy, and we would squeeze key lime on them and eat with a couple of loaves of Cuban bread. That was our barbecue. LOL. How simple life was, and we had such great times. I know that anyone in Key West who reads this cookbook would agree that our island is like no other. This cookbook is so important to me because it brings back our history and great memories of Key West, which I love sharing.

Download or read book Pink Conch written by Raj Behera and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will describe in four parts the waves of the east, west, north, and south. It will define two characters of fish from the Bay Area, who sought for an adventure from the Pacific Rim to the Indian Ocean. The main objective was to find the queen conch, or sri conch, generally known as the pink conch. Being in the Bay Area with the sound of the various objects of the sea, such as steamers, ships, surfing, and other activities, they forgot to explore the real value of life and the determination to find their objective. Lately, they came to know about the peace-loving pink conch and wanted to explore the peace formula and share it with the aquatics in the San Francisco Bay as well as beyond. Somehow, they were inspired to understand the conch, especially the pink conch. Never had they seen it, and they tried to know about it. Mostly they came to know the beautiful Bahamas and the Caribbean Sea and the conch habitants and the environment in those areas. Most likely, the serenity was derived with a variety of pleasant objects like the reef, beach, sea, clear sky, temperature, and many more. Two unique aquatics of the bay from the fish class finally started their journey from the crowded San Francisco Bay, from the Berkeley region, with the aim to obtain the pink conch and attain a state of divinity. That’s the ambition and goal they formulated after attending the first peace conference in the Pacific Rim. The one and only goal was to obtain the peace formula. Two friends, Goldy and Neil, planned for the journey with sufficient knowledge and confidence. Ultimately, they prayed to the Lord of the Milky Ocean for protection and guidance, similar to the adventure of the monkey who crossed the Indian Ocean by the mercy of the Lord of the Milky Ocean. The course of action was different as they flew over the ocean and now under the water. Their cause was to find out the lost loved one and hear the curiosity. Curiosity is the basic form of intelligence. When they started from the Golden Gate Bridge, a place they were situated, and learned about the conch, why was the conch so much a curiosity? The real path for attaining the divine conch was laid out by the two seekers as follows: Path from North Pacific Ocean to the Panama Canal, to the North Atlantic Ocean (Caribbean Sea), to the Gulf of Mexico, to the Bahamas, to the South Atlantic Ocean, to the Indian Ocean, to the Arabian Ocean, to the Indian Ocean, and to the Bay of Bengal. Please read the entire book to know more. Learn and relax and have fun! That’s much more important.
