I just finished reading The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd
It's about a woman in her 40's, Jessie Sullivan, who goes back to her home on Egret Island to care for her sick mother.
Jessie is married to Hugh and has a daughter away at college. While she is caring for her mom, who has cut off one of her own fingers, Jessie is trying to figure out why her mom has done this.
While on Egret Island she meets a monk, Brother Thomas, who hasnt taken his final vows yet. She begins to fall in love with the monk and wonders if she wants to leave her husband.
In the end Jessie finds out a hidden secret from her childhood concerning her fathers death. Which helps answer some questions about her moms strange behavior.
This was a nice read. I really enjoyed it.
I give this one 4 out of 5
