Interesting story of a Swedish sex therapist who picks up and moves to Ireland. Tordis lives completely in the moment, totally immersed in her surroundings and ready to fall in love with everything and everyone she encounters. Her emotional drama and flights of fancy are completely foreign to my own nature, which makes her a captivating character. The Irish folk also seem completely captivated by her, after they get over their initial shock at her frank and open attitude towards sex.With descriptive writing and engaging characters, Destined Union is an entertaining, often thought provoking story. Throughout it all, sex is a major theme, but it's as much literary as titillating in its delivery as various players in Tordis's life discuss their views and issues and personal stories. Overall an interesting and unique story that I'll probably read again to fully absorb.
