Title: THE MERMAID "CHORE"
Review: I was SO disappointed in this book! It proved to be a thinly veiled - and poorly written - romance novel. The contrived situations, from the trite mid-life crisis to falling in love at first sight with a monk, no less, make this book reek of the dime-store novel. I'm surprised that there wasn't a half-nude Fabio with a crucifix on the cover. Now that I mention it, the cover was beautiful - the book's one redeeming quality. Sue Monk Kidd should've done better, as BEES was wonderful. Don't waste your time or your money on MERMAID.
