Anita Shreve

I picked up "Eden Close" by Anita Shreve at the library last week and just began the book. As you already know she's one of my favorit authors...like music, there can be any number of favorites. I love that. Being a fast reading I find myself pulling back, slowing down to better savor the story. She could be the most insightful writer of our time. Shreve describes a woman as if she's lived inside me; talking with others, they feel a similar connection to her writing, her words. Having a mere yet chapters under my belt, I hesitate to recommend the book and yet...how can you go wrong with Anita Shreve?
