I have read a few of Anita Shreve's books and I liked them very much. This one? Not so much. Her writing was good but the character development, usually something she excels at, was lacking. After reading an entire book about Peter Webster the EMT, Sheila his wife and Rowan the daughter, I feel like I really don't know them or their motivations. The book was entertaining and it kept my interest but it wasn't up the usual caliber I have come to expect from Anita Shreve.
