Thanks so much for this - it looks like a great read. And a big thank you to the committee members and all others involved in organising a brilliant Uncon. :)

Journal Entry 4 by dododumpling from St. Neots, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom on Sunday, October 21, 2007
It is a fire in a New Hampshire hotel that brings Nicholas Van Tassel and Etna Bliss together, a chance meeting that lights up a lifelong passion. But their life is not everything they could have imagined. Many years later, Nicholas recounts their courtship and their time together. And as the threads of the story begin to unravel, what is revealed is a patchwork of promises, truths, secrets and lies, and a man, madly in love, for whom his wife is all he ever wanted ...

Nicholas Van Tassel is not a particularly likeable character - he is pompous and takes himself too seriously - but I didn't find Etna very sympathetic either. There's a sense of inevitability to what happens, but it doesn't make it any less shocking, and yet Nicholas appears to show no remorse.

I'd never read any Anita Shreve before, but I will definitely look out for other books by her. Thanks to the Uncon Committee for introducing us!

Released 16 yrs ago (10/28/2007 UTC) at Caffe Nero, King's Parade OBCZ in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom
