Fiction. Literature. HTML:Anita Shreve's hauntingly beautiful #1 bestseller and Oprah's Book Club selection about tragedy, grief, betrayal, and the 'impossibility of knowing another person.'
As a pilot's wife, Kathryn has learned to expect both intense exhilaration and long periods alone, but nothing has prepared her for a late-night knock that lets her know her husband has died in a crash.
Until now, Kathryn Lyons's life has been peaceful if unextraordinary: a satisfying job teaching high school in the New England mill town of her childhood; a picture-perfect home by the ocean; a precocious, independent-minded fifteen-year-old daughter; and a happy marriage whose occasional dull passages she attributes to the unavoidable deadening of time.
As Kathryn struggles with her grief, she descends into a maelstrom of publicity stirred up by the modern hunger for the details of tragedy. Even before the plane is located in waters off the Irish coast, the relentless scrutiny of her husband's life begins to bring a bizarre personal mystery into focus. Could there be any truth to the increasingly disturbing rumors that he had a secret life?

Unremarkable. Had an IRA twist, but I saw it a mile away. Pilot, secret family, blah blah blah. Why are teenagers always written as necessarily annoying. Not much more to say about this novel.

any book about death and grief can be depressing, but this was a page turner. Great character development. Just when I had had enough with the grief... there was a twist! really liked it ( )

Here's what I wrote in 2008 about this read: "Remember it well; pilot has two wives, one on each side of the Atlantic. Consider it average, and so why do I remember it so vividly??? P.S. Two copies in the Adams office as of this writing." ( )

The first half of this book had promise but the second half was a glorified Mills and Boone. I was very disappointed. ( )

This is my first Anita Shreve book, and it is her best-selling book because Oprah picked it. I cannot see why. The story starts when Kathryn receives the news that her husband's transatlantic flight has exploded off the coast of Ireland, but this news is only the beginning of discovery for her about who her husband really was. There is the exploration of grief, family relationships, parenting and how Kathryn deals with this unraveling of life as she knows it.

At the end of course things resolve and wounds start to heal, but there is a small matter of the helping hand that Kathryn receives. The author conjures up for her out of this total disaster a miracle man, someone too good to be true. He plays the piano (like she loves to do), cooks her lobsters and is beside her as she faces the cruelest of her husband's betrayals. Robert is an ex husband himself and a recovering alcoholic, but it is obvious that he cares very much for her. There is little hint at romance in the story but I can very well imagine her falling for him, I would too.
