Mrs. Stevens Hears the Mermaids Singing
May Sarton
Hilary Stevens is an aging writer asked to recount her poetic inspirations, and we are taken along on this journey of rediscovery. Both subtle and intense, Stevens sympathetically gives life lessons to Mar, a newly-queer young man whose heart had been broken. As she recalls her process and inspiration, she reflects briefly on her sexuality. The book had been turned into a movie by the same name, staring Lucy Brightman.
