Book Review of The Mermaid Chair

The Mermaid Chair
The Mermaid Chair
Author: Sue Monk Kidd
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Hardcover


From the back cover: "The mermaid chair is a vividly imagined novel about mermaids and saints, about the passions of the sprit and the ecstasies of the body".
This book is a rich walk to the coast of SC and with Jessie, the main character's life as she grapples with the decision to stay married to her husband Hugh after life has become stale and predictable.
