ich fand das buch ganz gut.
die charaktere werden am anfang der handlung sehr dicht und nah am leben aufgebaut,
am ende verliert sich diese intensität leider.
leider werden alle klischees bezüglich der vergebenen rollen erfüllt.
das ist ein wenig das, was ich bei A. S. vermisse, diese intensität,
die sie anfangs in die entwicklung ihrer personen legt, durchzuhalten
und auch den mut zu einem überraschenden ende.
geht bald auf die reise zu dr.-pit.

Well, she starts off with strong emotions. Loosing your beloved one is probably something that most of us fear and it is easy to be caught in her grief. The question what happens to your emotions, when you find out that the person you thought to know deeply, is actually leading a secret life you never dreamt off, is a very interesting one. Sadly she does not follow this question thoroughly. She tries to find a logic end to the book and tries to convert it to a political thriller on the very last pages.
This book has not convinced me to look for more books from Anita Shreve.
It will travel on to Maenade soon.

The book arrived at my place yesterday. Thank you for sending it!
I'm sorry that the book is still with me. If it's OK I'd still like to read it before passing it on!
29.01.07: Sorry again! Life took some changes for me and I simply didn't find the time for the book. I've read it by now - in a plane to be exact! When reading it I really liked it. By now I've come to the conclusion that the story is a little to farfetched for me. At least that's what I hope it is! Still - it was a good read. Thank you everyone for giving me the opportunity to read it. I will send it on to Catbook as soon as I have her confirmation.

Travelling on to Catbook.Dieses Buch reist mit in sillesoerens Reisechallenge. Gute Reise!
I held the german edition in my hands several times, but couldn´t decide to buy it. For this reason I was very glad to get the chance to read the original. It will surely take me some time to do so, but I hope not too long ;-) Maybe in summer holidays...
Since my husband is a privat pilot this book is going to be released at an airport oder landing field after reading.
