I just started it and am about 50 pages in---so far I am just a little lost due to all the charachters...and I dont see quite yet how they are connected.

Can anyone tell me if it gets easier to make these connections?

I have read it but it was awhile ago. I remember enjoying it but that's about it. Sorry.

Anita Shreve, right? I've read a bunch of hers but I don't think I've read that one. Maybe Kerry?

I read it a LONG time ago. I can't even remember what it was about but I do know I liked it.

I hated Sea Glass. I felt it was the weakest of all her books.

I am starting to think I just flat out dont enjoy Anita Shreves writing. I loathed A Wedding in December, I only thought the Pilots Wife was good and not great and this book is just killing me as I dont feel like the charachters are developing and I am over 200 pages in....I think I would like this book alot more if it was just about Honora and Sextons life. I enjoy this time period, but I am not liking it.....

I haven't read Wedding and I liked Pilot's Wife, but don't think if was her best. If you're still willing to give her a try, I thought Fortunes Rock was really good as well as Last Time They Met (this one is a prequel/sequel to another one she wrote and I can't think of what it's called right now...I liked LTTM better than the prequel/sequel). All He Ever Wanted was also good.

Ditto! I loved Fortune's Rocks, it was a favorite of mine. I never read Last Time They Met but I think it is a sequel to The Weight of Water, another good book from her (though I hated that ending). I think some of Anita's earlier books were better written, than she started getting too Danielle Steele/Nicholas Sparks on me.

Has anyone read Light on Snow by her?? I really liked that one and my mom did too. Haven't read The Pilot's Wife, started it once and couldn't get into it. Haven't tried Wedding in December.

OMG!!! The Pilots Wife made me question everything about my relationship. I LOVED it too!!! I just received her latest...Body Surfing...and I can't wait to read it.

FYI...I have found of few of hers not great but the majority are wonderful. I'm a HUGE fan!!!
