We are back with a touch of the supernatural. Growing up mermaids were meant to be feared, they were treacherous beings out to get you at any cost - careful not to get taken by a mermaid if you were down by the river. In Finding Mermaids, Chido Muchemwa tells a story of loss and grief mingled with a quest to find the truth about strange disappearances of girls in a remote village. Is this strange occurrence easily explained or is it driven by spirits from another world? We cannot know it all...
