Title: You've got to bee Kidding me ...
Review: Dear Sue,As one of your most supportive readers--I found The Dance of the Dissident Daughter brilliant--I must say that The Mermaid's Chair reflects a complete return to a stereotype of dominant patriarchal culture, where women need men to be happy. I agree with one of the previous reviewers who stated that from now on you should again write from the heart (remember St. Benedict's admonition to listen to the words of the heart). Jessie's actions in The Mermaid Chair just didn't ring true in this bodice ripper, sad to say. Much serious material got left by the wayside because of the sexual obsessions of the main characters.I'll look forward to your future writings, which I hope will plunge a little more into the true depths of female spirituality.
