"When the Tides Held the Moon" by Venessa Kelley.

"Benigno “Benny” Caldera knows an orphaned Boricua blacksmith in 1910s New York City can’t call himself an artist. But the ironwork tank he creates for Coney Island's Luna Park astounds everyone, especially the eccentric side-show proprietor who commissioned it. Benny’s work earns him an invitation to share in the show's astonishing secret: the tank Benny built is a cage for their newest exhibit, a living, in-the-flesh merman stolen from the banks of the East River. Soon Benny comes to know Río as a kindred spirit more beautiful and compassionate than any human he’s ever met, until Benny can no longer ignore the agonizing truth of Río’s captivity—or his own." - NoveList Plus
