An inheritance of  magic- The New Indian Express

Express News Service
CHENNAI: How do you listen to a mermaid’s song? I, having been raised on the ways of a particular wizarding world, believed you had to submerge yourself in water be part of the sea that births the music. But, there’s plenty of magic to be found if you were to dip your oar into the water and hold its other side to your ear at the Mattakalappu lagoon, finds Nilavoli, Sharanya Manivannan’s protagonist.
While scientists peg the mysterious sounds to underwater currents touching a special type of shell, or the creatures that reside in them or ‘singing’ fish, Nilavoli’s Amma suggests, “Then there are dreamers like you and me who want to believe there can be mermaids in the lagoon. Fish-tailed, with a human heart.” It’s with this declaration that Sharanya’s latest creation Mermaids in the Moonlight takes off.
