The listing, Book Rusalka by C.J. Cherryh has ended.
Although Cherryh is known as a Sci Fi writer, this is more fantasy than Sci Fi. There is magic and a bit of romance in this very unique plot.
I am an avid reader, with Sci Fi, and Fantasy two of my favorite genres, and I have never read anything like this before.
If you are a Cherryh fan and haven't read this one -- it's a must read.
Book is in excellent condition, but the cover is pretty raggedy.
