Review title: Disappointed in Shreve
Product review: I waited quite a long time to read this novel which I reserved at a local library. I was very disappointed and surprised because I had thoroughly enjoyed all of Shreve's previous novels. This novel was more complex than it needed to be....maybe because the main characters, best friends from high school didn't provide enough story. Shreve's constant reference to 9/11 seems out of place and the sub-story about the Halifax disaster was ponderous and I skipped most of that. I am hopeful this is a low point in Shreve's literary work and that we can expect another novel soon that is worthy of her previous work.
