Title: The Mermaid's Chair
Review: An obvious plot with "wooden-like" characters and an improbable, but predictable story line, The Mermaid's Chair became a forced-read for the sake of my book group. While the author does a fine job of describing places, she lacks the ability to adequately develop characters beyond a superficial level. It read like a made-for-TV script.
