Ehhhh...I keep waffling between three and four stars for this. Did I "like it" or did I "really like it?" I'm not sure. Let's start here: I envy Anita Shreve's ability with words. She's an evocative writer, and extraordinarily skilled. She's observant, and I like that about her. I will be reading mo...
