What They're Saying
Critics Review
Delicate, poignant storytelling
Anita Shreve…writes with such care and knowing that it’s impossible not to be consumed by her storytelling, her beautiful sentences always exceeding the sum of their words … Shreve is a literary talent for all, and this novel - up there with her award-winning The Weight of Water - is flaming good - The Times
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 - New York TimesShreve’s account of the fires is terrifying, and her portrait of a bad marriage almost equally so. Her recreation of post-war, pre feminist American society is a model of elegant restraint, deep feeling, skillful characterisation, and a richly evocative sense of place - Sydney Morning HeraldLike 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 - USA TodayAbout The Author
