Title: mermaids and more...
Review: The cover to this book will draw you closer no matter what! The story was heaped with descriptions and feelings but I felt it lacked in plot somewhat. Jesse has been called home to tend to her mother who has recently cut off her finger thus emerging past memories to enter the present for Jesse.Mystery begins to surround the death of her father when Jesse was young and a nearby monastry has secrets that Jesse wants to unfold to help in closure.The characters are very well defined and the writing is excellent but a doubting monk and his relationship with Jesse seems farfetched and seems to ruin the overall plot. Hugh, Jesse's husband puts up with alot I thought.Don't miss out on this long awaited second novel by Sue Monk Kidd - just know that it won't be as long-lasting as the first.
