Anita is a long-time independent bookseller favorite, from her very first books. And the votes poured in for this new one. "Shreve's new book is magnificent. Olympia Biddeford is an intriguing and unforgettable young protagonist. We follow her from adolescent innocence to sexual awakening, from passion to the complex consequences of that passion. She is one of many finely drawn and mostly sympathetic characters that round out this old-fashioned novel of manners, morals and brilliant historical context, set in the early 1900s in a small New England resort community. ~ Reviewed by Barbara Morrow
