Have just finished this very quickly, an unusual love story, with lots of interesting twists, the fact that she falls in love with a monk after being married for 20 years adds a touch of intrigue! He must be yummy. Found myself spotting a lot of similarities with "The secret Life of Bees" the religion and the rituals as well as the african influences. A few disturbing bits too that I would rather not imagine.

Handing this one to Inver, hope you enjoy.
Thanking you sis for allowing me to tick off another book from my wish list. It barely had time to settle there. Falling in love with a monk....reminds me a little of 'Thornbirds' all those years ago. Looking forward to reading it :+)
Finished it and what a great read it was too. Enjoyed it as much as Secret Life of Bees. Had a vision of a hunky monk in my head while reading it I have to say!! Not quite sure who it might be in a film though (Colin Firth sprung to mind at one point!) which I think could be transferred to no problem. Would love to see the actual 'Mermaid Chair'. Thanks for allowing me to read it. I think one you could read again and still enjoy.
Book will be returned to your bookshelf soon sis.
Look forward to some more of hers, when the time comes.
