Title: Disappointing
Review: I enjoyed "The Secret Life of Bees" so much that I was really looking forward to this book. I listened it on cd and, although it wasn't bad enough for me to stop in the middle, I don't believe it managed to capture the confusion and turmoil that often engulf women in their 40s. I found myself frequently getting frustrated with Jessie for her shallowness and the other characters seemed thin and trite. Brother Thomas was probably the one for whom I had the most empathy. (Also irritating was the reader's pronunciation of the word Celtic.)
