The Pilot's Wife : A Novel from Back Bay Books Price: $13.95 Customer Review:  I love all Anita Shreve has written. I'll keep this review short (for a longer more thought out review see my review on Fortune's Rocks). This is not only a fast paced page turner, but a book that deals with real issues; the aftermath of disaster, the complexities of a marriage, betrayal. To me the... |

Ethan Frome (Signet Classics (Paperback)) from Signet Book Price: $4.95 Customer Review:  "Ethan Frome," by Edith Wharton, is a fine example of Wharton's skill and power as a writer of fiction. But beyond that, this is a really depressing read. The story is basically a domestic tragedy set in the cold, grim town of Starkfield, Massachusetts. The title character is a poor farmer whose... |

Strange Fits of Passion: A Novel from Harvest Books Price: $9.75 Customer Review: The way the story is presented in "Strange Fits of Passion" is unusual and interesting. Shreve writes of Maureen English, alias Mary Amesbury, who is a victim of domestic violence, in an almost detached manner. Maureen/Mary has finally had enough, takes her 6-month-old daughter and a few hundred... |

Resistance : A Novel from Back Bay Books Price: $10.46 Customer Review: This was my second book by Shreve, Fortune's Rocks being my first. Without a doubt, Anita Shreve is one of my favorite authors.

Eden Close from Harvest Books Price: $9.75 Customer Review: Anita Shreve captures an east coast small town so well in this tidy story of a man returning home for his mother's funeral. After the book is done, the images of the house, the pond, the town and the people seem to linger in one's mind, a compliment to her writing style. The story revolves around... |

Fortune's Rocks : A Novel from Back Bay Books Price: $10.17 Customer Review: A book about adultery, giving up a child and illicit love ~~ what more can a reader ask for? Sometimes, the book does seem drawn out and long ~~ but the writing prose is excellent and Shreve does a wonderful job (again) to keep the reader's interest. The characters ~~ especially Olympia, the main... |

All He Ever Wanted: A Novel from Back Bay Books Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I am a fan of Anita Shreve, although some of her novels have dipped below par. I was afraid this was one of them, but the longer I stuck with it the more I enjoyed and admired this surprising tale. The language, which seemed stilted at first, became natural in both the appropriateness of the time... |
