I loved Sue Monk Kidd's book "The Secret Life of Bees" but was very disappointed in her book "The Mermaid Chair". I am happy to report that she has more than redeemed herself, in my opinion anyway, with her novel "The Invention of Wings". It is a compelling and well written book taking place in early to mid 19th century Charleston when slavery was at the very heart of their culture. The fact that the book is based on real people and incidents makes it all the more interesting. I highly recommend this book.
