Title: Surprisingly good after The Pilot's Wife
Review: Don't get me wrong. Anita Shreve is a marvelous writer. A first rate story teller, she draws you into her books. But the Pilot's Wife, though well written, was melodramatic and depressing--much to much so for me. The Weight of Water, although it deals with heavy issues like death and adultery, had me completely immersed. Her train-of-thought method of relating past and present events kept my interest until the very last word. Here is a book I found hard to put down.So if The Pilot's Wife wasn't your cup of tea, give Ms. Shreve another chance with The Weight of Water!!
