I would like to preface this by saying this book was found at the YMCA.
Decently erotic outdoor sex with a monk. That is how I would sum up The Mermaid Chair in less than ten words. The book is basically about a middle aged women's struggle to discover herself after years of feeling as if she isn't her own person. Lovingly devoted to her husband and daughter, Jesse finds that with her nest empty her life is lacking. She takes a vaca and goes to take care of her guilt stricken, senile mother and subsequently commits adultery with a Monk (naughty!) while rediscovering herself and her life's role.
Recently Lifetime made this into a made for TV movie (go figure). I can't say I have seen it but I am sure it is promising. If the sex scenes are well executed it could tun out to be a decent piece of soft core erotica. Maybe I will look up the TV listing and TiVo it to watch sometime when I need a pick me up.
