Query: Another Excelent Book By Anita Shreve

I loved this book as much as I have loved Sea Glass, The Pilot's Wife and All He Ever Wanted....maybe I loved it more. I will agree with one reviewer that it does start off a bit slow, but I think that was important to the story...you need to get to know the characters in order for the second half of the book to take full effect, and that's exactly what I think Anita Shreve was doing by taking her time in the first half of this book. The second half definitely picks up pace. I read the last fifth of it in one sitting, and that's rare for me.I have a bit of advice...If you want to read this book and have not read Sea Glass, read this one first!!! Then read Sea Glass of course. This puts them in chronological order.ENJOY!
