Anita's writing is simple and easy to read. Yet when these simple, clear sentences are woven together, you are presented with surprisingly poetic paragraphs and a story that grabs you and pulls you into its web.
With this book, Anita Shreve presents you with a interesting moral dilemma resulting from a shocking discovery. She allows you to taste and savor the story's events and subsequent emotions while never letting your attention go. The story takes place over a time span of only a couple days and because of this, I won't reveal to you what the story is about. What I will say is that I have read three Anita Shreve books now (Body Surfing, Testimony and Light on Snow), and I think this one was perhaps my favorite.
Well done. I give this one a thumbs up.
