Praise For This Book |
"Long before Liane Moriarty was spinning her "Big Little Lies," Shreve was spicing up domestic doings in beachfront settings with terrible husbands and third-act twists. She still is, as effectively as ever, this time with a narrative literally lit from within." -Mary Pols, New York Times Book Review "Like her sensational best-selling 1998 novel The Pilot's Wife, about a widow who discovers her pilot husband had a second family, The Stars Are Fire explores what happens in the secret spaces between married people...Masterful... lingers long after the last page is turned, like the smoke from a wildfire." -Patty Rhule, USA Today "Precise, evocative prose brings the story's vivid characters to life...original and gripping." -People "Anita Shreve's books are reliably engrossing literary page-turners, never formulaic...Shreve consistently creates complex characters and plots, often drawn from the historical record or from obscure headlines...Then she tells their stories in unobtrusively elegant prose." -Kate manning, The Washington Post "This is a suspenseful and heartwarming story of not just overcoming but also growing in the face of great difficulty." -Booklist "This is sure to be a best seller. Shreve's prose mirrors the action of the fire, with popping embers of action, licks of blazing rage, and the slow burn of lyrical character development. Absolutely stunning." -Library Journal (starred review, Editors' Spring Picks) "It is a book of small moments, a collection of seemingly simple themes that build to surprising and moving crescendoes. Shreve's spare, economic prose suits her character's practicality and initial hesitance to determine the course of her own life... Shreve's crisp writing becomes more expansive in the moments when her protagonist consciously stretches beyond the boundaries of her previously narrow life." -BookPage |
