Title: The Mermaid Chair
Review: Jessie Sullivan is returning to the island on which she grew up. An island she hasnt been back to in over five years. Called back to care for her mother, Jessie is also running away from what she deems her mundane, repetitive and predictable married life.Egret Island is also the home of a Benedictine monastary where Jessie falls in love with Brother Thomas. Questions of her past, present and future bombard Jessie and difficult choices need to be made.I truly enjoyed this book and fell into the culture, so well written, of Egret Island. This is great story of the relationship between mother and dauther, the friendship of three women that transcends time, and a woman who is, in her fourties, still searching for her true self, only now realizing this self needs finding.
