Anita Shreve wrote contemporary and historical fiction about marriages, secrets and the way one event can reshape a family over many years. The Pilot's Wife follows Kathryn Lyons after her husband's death in a plane crash raises questions about how well she knew him. The Weight of Water links a modern sailing trip with the investigation of a nineteenth-century murder on the Isles of Shoals, while The Last Time They Met follows a relationship across several periods of adulthood. Shreve's novels are measured and character-led, often using hidden information or an old decision as the point around which present relationships change. Her work fits domestic fiction, relationship drama and historical mystery, especially for readers who prefer emotional and moral consequences to action-heavy suspense. Read more Less
