Sirena is one of my all-time favorite books that I can read again and again and find something new to love. Mermaid books are few and far between and Donna Jo Napoli does an expert job of weaving together a story set in ancient Greece where the myths are real and the Battle of Troy started because of jealous women and a golden apple. The story is told in Sirena's point of view as she leaves her sisters and her home for a life of solitude only to find an injured sailor has washed up on her island. Through trials and tribulations they build a life together on the secluded island and fall in love. But the battle of Troy is close to being lost and Sirena learns that her injured sailor is the key to winning the war. But the only way to let him fulfill his destiny is to let him go knowing that he can never return to her.
