Title: Beyond bad
Review: This book was a complete disappointment. While Sue Monk Kidd's Secret Life of Bees was vivid and imaginative, this book was contrived, unbelievable, and Harlequin romance-esque. The whole premise that this middle-aged woman caught in the middle of a family crisis would spy a robed monk and the two would instantly fall in love is just ludicrous. Unable to suspend my disbelief, it's been a chore to plow through this book and I don't know if I can stomach finishing it. Save your money.
