About this listen
The long-awaited sequel to Exit Unicorns opens in the autumn of 1969. Casey and Pamela Riordan have fled the erupting violence of Belfast, Northern Ireland, only to find themselves tangled in the web of political corruption that permeates South Boston. Here, a man's life can hang upon the whim of another, and neighborhood politics and organized crime are one and the same.
While Pamela appears to flourish in the arena of Boston Irish society, Casey struggles to survive in a sphere where his presence has become increasingly inconvenient. Betrayed and blackmailed by friend and foe, the Riordans are forced to make desperate choices that bear heavy consequences. In the wake of tragedy, they return to Ireland and an alliance with James Kirkpatrick. It is here the bonds of love are tested - by the bloody price of rebellion, a past that is fraught with dangers of its own, friendships that carry a steep price, and a secret that threatens to tear their lives apart.
Set against the backdrop of the gritty streets of Southie and the heartbreaking beauty of Ireland, Mermaid in a Bowl of Tears is a tale of the invincibility of the human spirit, imbued with the passion, humor, and magic inherent to the Emerald Isle.

One of the best listening experiences
This is another outstanding audio book from Cindy and narrator Gary. Cindy's Exit Unicorns series is one that I highly recommend and consider to be the kind of series that lasts through a lifetime of reading and re-reading. Mermaid in a Bowl of Tears is my favourite in the series - so far - and I am always eagerly awaiting the next novel. I hope listeners will enjoy this audio book as much I have.

Historical Fiction at its Finest!
Mermaid in a Bowl of Tears is the second book in this phenomenal series and the continuation of this epic story around the lives of Casey, Pamela, Jamie, Patrick, and a host of memorable characters and how they navigate through the terrible tragedy that is The Troubles.
This part of the story takes us to South Boston for a time and continues back in Ireland. Cindy weaves a fantastic tale full of history, poetry, betrayal, love, heartache, and survival. It will leave you craving more, and more you shall have.
I love this series with every fibre of my being!
I first read Mermaids in 2015 and again when the audiobook was released in 2018.
I am completely enamored! The audio takes you on a plane of existence that you didn’t even know was there. Pairing the book with the audio and to experience a story like this is so much different from watching it in a movie format. Gary Furlong is a master at his trade and he does not disappoint! I thought he did a fantastic job with Exit Unicorns. He takes it up quite a few notches for Mermaids!
I am very much looking forward to him doing the rest of the series because honestly; I don’t know if anyone else could do it justice.
I have enjoyed this experience so much that I have re-listened to several chapters more than once! I love it that much!!
