Title: How coud she?
Review: I have been a fan of Sue Monk Kidd for some time ,having read her books on spirituality and her essays and The Secret Life of Bees. That being said, I cannot believe how easily she fell from content to sappy-trendy. The concept of mid-life angst is far from new. I do not believe however that in real life, the consequences of actions for SOME people are nada and zilch. Or that it is of no consequence to betray those we love. How sad. And how disapointing.It is interesting to me that while we are to feel for the child that Jesse was, we should have little or no feeling for Hugh or her own daughter. It does not wash for me and seems to be a little paon to all that is bankrupt in the prevailing culture . Surely we can experinence growth without stamping on others.Or making them less important.
Is the review positive or negative?
