Title: Disappointing Purchase
Product review: This is the first book I've ever read by Anita Shreve, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Judging by many of the other reviews on this site, I should have picked another of her many novels. Light on Snow starts out on an intriguing note, but it just doesn't pay off. Nicky and Charlotte are interesting characters, and the conversations between them are the most believable in the book. Unfortunately, I never bought the idea of the adult narrator looking back at a traumatic summer of her childhood. As several other reviewers have pointed out, Shreve never gives any sense of the grown-up Nicky or how her relationship with her father evolves. Strictly one to check out from the library.
