Good night all,
I am pleased to share with you this new recommendation. This is a novel that I finished reading a few days ago entitled "The secret of the mermaid" by Sue Monk Kidd; great writer with a wonderful imagination.
Book Summaries

When Jessie is summoned to the island to cope with an inexplicable act of violence of his eccentric mother carries with her husband, Hugh, a conventional life. Once on the 1st island, and although he loves Hugh, is attracted to Brother Thomas, a monk who is about to pronounce final vows. Amidst the exotic beauty of the marsh, estuary and majestic waterfowl, Jessie grapples with the tension of desire and the struggle to deny it, between the feeling that he has conquered the desired freedom and the undeniable strength of the marriage home v .
"The power of the chair of the siren is just a myth, or be able to alter the course of your life? Will Jessie found inside the site belong only to itself?
Few novels like this have explored the unknown region of the female soul where the thin line drawn between the spiritual and the erotic, the sublime regular. Few have explored the origin of the desire to love a soul mate ...
This is a novel about mermaids and saints, the ecstasies of the body and the passions of the mind, written with brilliance and strength that only a writer of Kidd's ability can be achieved.
take this opportunity to thank you again the two people who gave me and spent so magnificent novel, Anne and Ruben. Hopefully
many of you have the opportunity to read it because it has a lot of magic and conveys profound messages and inspiring, filling the soul.
Greetings!
