The stars are fire a novel par Anita Shreve
This book reminded me of all the reasons I love Anita Shreve. Absolutely loved it!
As usual, another page-turner from Anita Shreve. Devoured it in less than 48 hours... a welcome respite from The Inheritance of Loss, which has proven to be heavy and sad.
Started & left at the summer place again. By the reviews it's a love it or hate it book so it will be interesting to find out which side I end up on.
Tried to get back into it, but couldn't scrape up any interest to keep going.

This book was okay, but could have been SO much better. It was hard to get into because of the way it was written. I think that had the book been told from the eyes of only one narrator, perhaps just Mike, then it would have been better. The potential for a good plot is there, the author just didn't take advantage. Mike and Anna's affair came out of the blue, even though it was integral to the story and what happened to Silas. The cameraman remained a mystery until the end, even tho he too was important to the story. I'm all for giving Anita Shreve a "do-over" for this book and letting her write it again and tell the story better.… (plus d'informations)
