Impossible by Nancy Werlin


Question: Are the riddles found in the English folksong “Scarborough Fair” really impossible to solve? This song, which was made quite a hit in the 70's by Simon and Garfunkel, asks the “true love” to 1) build a shirt without any seams or needlework 2) find an acre of land between the salt water and the sea strand and 3) sow that acre with one grain of corn.

Well, Lucy Scarborough has 6 months before her daughter's birth to perform these impossible task, or she will go mad, just like her mother and all the other women in her family who have been cursed by the Elfin King. Read how Lucy deals with not only a curse, but also an unwanted pregnancy and an unexpected love in Nancy Werlin's new novel, Impossible. A nail bitter to the end and definitely a good read!
