Body Surfing




by Anita Shreve


After enjoying several of her previous novels, I've come to look forward to Anita Shreve's next book. This one was a major disappointment. The plot about a young woman torn between two brothers on Cape Cod was very intriguing. However, I just could not get used to the style of writing, which was in present tense and jumped suddenly from scene to scene, kind of like a long poem. Loved Light on Snow and The Pilot's Wife, but this is not her best work.
