Will try some of her other books...hope it was the book and not the author. ( ) As a woman who has been pushed to the edge once or twice, the back copy of his book of this book lured me in. “I wonder this: If you take a woman and push her to the edge, how will she behave?” The feeling of impending tragedy is overwhelming as Jean explores an isolated island in search of a story. The past and present weave together and both are slipping like water towards the revelation. Anita Shreve, author of THE PILOT’s WIFE, is a master of atmosphere. Couldn’t put this down and had a few late nights reading it and then trying to sleep. It is a ‘high residue’ story, and it curls up in the back of your mind, making you vaguely uncomfortable. The work of a master writer. Loved it. Best to read when the sun is shining... I picked this book up because I read The Pilot's Wife several years ago, and I always meant to read another book by Anita Shreve. Unfortunately, this book was a bit of a letdown. The narrative style was a little jarring. I don't mind flashbacks but it went back and forth between the past and the present often without any warning. I found myself not really caring about the modern story, but I was interested in the story from the 1800s. I think this would have made an interesting story on its own, without the modern story thrown in. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
