The Mermaid Chair

I'm reading this book called the Mermaid Chair. It's good so far. I'll let you know. It's about a woman who has been married to the same man for over 20 years (maybe longer) and she goes to help her mother who lives on an island in SC and while there in a short amount of time, falls in love with a Monk. Her mother lives next to a Monestary. Her husband comes to visit and she shooes him away telling him she needs space. Very interesting. She knowingly and willingly pursues this Monk. He loves her too. ?????? Wow. I'm riveted because this seems so wrong but then......does it? You know ME. I've been in big picture mode lately and I'm biting into this apple big time.

I'm almost done. I'll give a full report (and I know you'll be on pins and needles till then.... :)
when I'm done.

For now it's a good distraction for me.

I read about this book. I too am looking for a good escape book. I'll have to pick this up.
