Title: Breathless and speechless!
Review: I finished this book just 10 minutes ago and am still in a state of mild shock at the ending.I simply hadn't realised that Anita Shreve was capable of writing such magnificent prose ! She lifts you up and floats you along on such an ethereal cloud-filmy but magically intense-so that you can literally forget where you are. I don't normally rabbit on about prose but this is very special. The story is simple and I don't want to give anything away as it would ruin the reading of the book. Girl meets boy in teenage years--they part and meet again in middle age to discover that the deep feelings they had for each other have never gone away. I suppose that most women have an old love about whom they wonder-"what if "? I gave it only 4 stars as the ending left me curiously stranded and ambivalent about the final outcome.
Is the review positive or negative?
