The Last Time They Met

I read The Pilot's Wife years back and enjoyed this author very much. For some reason, I had a hard time getting engaged at the beginning of this story, but I'm so glad I hung in. Anita Shreve skillfully shows us the power of love to not only occupy all of our thoughts and feelings but also to hurt when that love is denied. This novel vividly shows the sexual desire of the protagonist (without being too graphic) but also the disappointment when love is lost and forbidden. A highly recommended read.
