In love with Anita Shreve

There are a few authors whose books I pretty much love, without question. Everything they write, I love. I’m promiscuous that way. Chris Bohjalian (not a surprise to anyone who has read my book. T. Jefferson Parker. Now I’ve a new one: Anita Shreve.

I just finished Fortune’s Rocks, an astounding book with much complexity (sounds like something she’d say, or something the judges would say on Iron Chef).

Prior to that, I read Seaglass, which I also loved, and prior to that, The Pilot’s Wife. Yes, I loved that too.

When I started Seaglass, I learned that Shreve intended it to be one of three books in a trilogy, but not your usual trilogy. What all three books have in common is the house the main character lives in, a wonderful, rambling beach cottage in New Hampshire. They were written out of order, too.

And now I’m reading A Wedding in December. I just love Shreve’s writing.

Are there authors whose work you pretty much love, no matter what they write?
