The Last Time They Met - Anita Shreve


Ms. Shreve keeps getting better and better. This lyrical novel of love and loss left me speechless. My only though upon reading the last paragraph was, "wow".

I read her very first novel, The Pilot's Wife, which was showcased on Oprah, and thought the author pretty talented. Some time later, I read through her next few novels, including Eden Close and The Weight of Water, and thought, my, she is evolving as an author.

Now, I'd have to say, with the birth of The Last Time They Met, Ms. Shreve has, most assuredly, arrived within the literary elite. Enjoy!
