I decided to read this book because I read that Mary Alice Monroe was awarded a Booker Prize which is apparently quite prestigious. After reading the book, I would say (this book anyway) is not an award-winning achievement. It was good, like an 8/10 good, or maybe 7/10, but it wasn't great and I wouldn't tell people to read it because I enjoyed it so much.
A woman in her 40s returns to a beach house (I think it is South Carolina) her mother resides at and reconciles with her and her family history after being absent since the age of 18. Turtles and conservation of turtles are a topic throughout. That's pretty much all I have to say. I suppose the romance part was somewhat unrealistic and predictable, but I did enjoy that part the most.
