She Seduced a Monk?!
My latest audio book was another selection from Sue Monk Kidd called The Mermaid Chair. After finishing another book of hers titled The Secret Life of Bees, I was expecting another very good story. Although the Mermaid Chair was an interesting story, I don’t think it was quite as engaging as the Bees.The story is about a woman in her 40s who seems to be having trouble staying happy in a marriage that she feels has gone stale. She goes to visit her mother and her mother’s friends on the coast of South Carolina where she grew up, next to a monastery. It is during this trip that she finds out the truth about many things, including the true story of how her father died, how she really feels about her marriage, and what it is like to bed a monk. Yes. A monk. This is definitely another “chick” book and I think I’ll take a break from the Kidd books.
I did enjoy this book to a certain degree but I just had to shake my head a couple of times and consider how absolutely absurd some of the situations were. I could see the “tugging of the heart-strings” and just rolled my eyes. Ladies, I’m sure you’ll like this. Most of the guys will probably want to try something else – except maybe Kazi… I understand he has found some new programming options on Lifetime that he finds enjoyable. ;-)
