I didn't realize Anita Shreve had read 15 books, I was only familiar with about a half dozen of them. This new one sounds like a winner!
Hi! I didn't know she was married to her husband that she knew since she was 13. That's devotion right there...knowing someone that long.
Great giveaway as always! :)

I love Anita Shreve and havve read what I thought was ALL of her books. Apparently not since I haven't read all 15 of them. I better get going.
I learned that she taught school for a number of years in and around the Boston area.

I learned that Anita Shreve lived in Nairobi, Kenya for three years. This new book will surely encompass some of what she felt and observed during her time living in Kenya.
I learned that Anita Shreve was born near Boston. She was a teacher, but quit to begin writing and started with short stories. I also learned she's written more than I ever knew!
