Synopsis
Sue Monk Kidd's novel revolves around a chair known as the "mermaid chair," which is part of a shrine in a South Carolina monastery dedicated to a saint who was once a mermaid. Jessie Sullivan returns home to South Carolina after a traumatic family incident--her widowed mother has accidentally cut off a finger. Back home, Jessie looks after her difficult mother--and she also gets to know a monk named Brother Thomas, becoming involved in the world of the monastery as she struggles to work out the problems in her life (including her own forbidden desire) as well as her mother's.
