Erika B. (runnahgirl) reviewed lonely on 2/18/2009

Helpful Score: 1

This book is very well written. Shreve has the ability to describe scenes in such detail that you begin to imagine yourself as one of the characters. The protagonist is writing a short story at the same time that she is attending the wedding so it is almost as if you are reading two books at once. There are many parallels with the short story and the novel that are nicely woven together.

The book may leave you feeling lonely. It also leaves you feeling that anything is possible and nothing in this life is guaranteed.
