I borrowed this book from the library knowing nothing about it. I had read another book by Anita Shreve (A Wedding in December) and really liked her writing style and the candor of the plot, so decided to try this one. This book will move you to tears. It is about heartbreak and betrayal. The main heroine (Kathryn) receives the terrible news that her husband's plane crashed near the coast of Ireland. Trying to cope with grief, she focuses on recalling the details of how they first met, fell in love and built a home together. At the same time, she starts discovering little secrets that her husband (Jack) apparently kept from her. Little by little, she finds out that he led a double life, which she knew nothing about. Her search for answers brings her to Europe, where she learns more about Jack's secret life and realizes that she never really knew her husband... It's a great read, and a very moving story. It will make you question whether it is ever possible to really know another person.
