Title: You must be 'kidding'
Review: Shame on Kidd for writing this book and shame on me for buying it.She certainly didn't have a fire in her belly for this book as she had for Secret Life; the tiredness and lack of originality show that. The Mermaid Chair is a Pat Conroy or Ann Rivers Siddons look alike. Me thinks the publisher wanted to get some more big bucks riding on the coattials of the success of Bees.And - in the first 2 sentences, Kidd hooked me, but by the second paragraph I knew exactly what was coming. Just as Kidd has turned her back on her conservative upbringing and writing good articles for Guideposts, she is now selling her gifts cheaply--which means she's selling her soul. Sad, sad.
