Editorial reviews

From the author of Mermaids comes a sequel to that much-praised saga of life, love, and family. Starfish once again picks up with Charlotte Flax, this time 27 years later as she attempts to raise a grown son and celebrate the birthday of her mother. Elizabeth Evans performs Patty Dann's story with the same humor and empathy demonstrated by Cher and Winona Ryder in the film adaptation of the prequel. Evans and Dann are a knockout combo.

Publisher's summary

The Flax women reunite in their old hometown in this long-awaited sequel to Mermaids, the novel that became the cult-classic movie starring Cher, Winona Ryder, and Christina Ricci.

Loved It

I have loved the movie Mermaids for years and years and finally read the book earlier this year. I was so excited for this sequel. I thought Patty Dann did a really great job with this. I loved the narrator too, she's very talented. I'll certainly miss the Flax women, but I have a feeling I'll revisit these stories again and again.
