Good It must be an Anita Shreve novel because I've finished it and my heart still aches. Just one of those emotionally compromising books that live in the shades of grey of human morality while still telling a really good story. Her handle on imagery and complex relationships is still top notch. I can't wait to work through the rest of my stack of Shreve paperbacks so I can get more of her work. 3.5 stars Nicky is 12-years old. She and her father moved from New York to rural New Hampshire after Nicky lost her mom and sister. While they are showshoeing one day, they come across an abandoned baby left to die in the snow. The book alternates between the current situation with the found baby and backing up to time to learn about how Nicky and her Dad came to where they are now. This was good. It started off with a “bang” and I wanted to keep reading. Part-way through, I wasn’t happy with some of the decisions they made – especially Nicky’s father, being the adult. But I did like the way the book ended. no reviews | add a review
