Resumen del Editor

At an inn in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts, seven former schoolmates gather for a wedding. Nora, the owner of the inn, has recently had to reinvent her life following the death of her husband. Avery, who still hears echoes from a horrific event at Kidd Academy 26 years ago, has made a life for himself in Toronto with his wife and two sons. Agnes, now a history teacher at Kidd is a still-single woman who longs to tell a secret she cannot reveal to the others, a secret that would stun them all. Bridget, the mother of a 15-year-old boy, has agreed to marry Bill, an old high school lover whom she has recently re-met, despite uncertainties about her health and future. Indeed, it is Bill who passionately wants this wedding and who has brought everyone together for an astonishing weekend of revelation and recrimination, forgiveness and redemption. This is Anita Shreve's most ambitious and moving novel to date, probing into human motivation with grace and skill.

Luke-warm read.

Not one of Shreve's best. She is such an excellant author but this was not very satifiying.

Painful read!

I plugged through till the end but what a boring audio read … and confusing. I really enjoyed “a change in altitude” so tried this one. What a disappointment!!!

Lukewarm at best

I was disappointed in this latest book from Shreve, an author whose earlier books I have loved. As an earlier reviewers said, it's The Big Chill all over. I am sure there are moral lessons here, including the redeeming grace of love, but this is not a book for cynics or for anyone wanting more than a trite romance novel disguised as literature.

The Big Chill All Over Again

This didn't live up to expectations. Shreve is capable of much better. The characters aren't well developed, and the story within a story doesn't work well. Don't waste your book credit.

Very enjoyable

I would highly recommend this audiobook for anyone looking for a charming (although predictable) listen.

Story within the story - a better story.

I like the way this was writen - no problems staying with it. But I think this book could have really gone somewhere had the author not been so obsessed with afairs. It was just one afair after another - i felt like the auther was trying to work something out here. And, I found the Halifax story quite interesting, but wonder why the need to work another story in?

pretty good

This was entertaining but not the best of Anita Shreve. read Sea Glass to get a better perspective of this author's talent!

One of Shreve's Best!

The characters really come alive in this wonderful novel. The historical scenes of the Halifax disaster--a novel within a novel--are particularly vivid.

A beautiful narration...

...for a book that was was not Shreve's usual evocative work.

It is by no means a bad book and deserves savtboo
