Title: Great Book!
Review: This was my first Anita Shreve book, and I loved it from page one to the end. The writing is very poetic and atmospheric, such that, even though the plot may unfold slowly at first, it doesn't matter. The writing is so good that I was just totally absorbed, as you always want to be by a good book. The ending truly is a total surprise, and in fact, I didn't at first grasp the ending until later in the night...I literally woke up and realized what had actually happened on that last page, and it made the book all the more impressive. I'm onto "The Pilot's Wife" next, and will probably read all her books in quick succession.
Is the review positive or negative?
