Light On Snow by Anita Shreve

[eleny]

I finished this book last night and am glad I found the author. It's probably considered chick lit as it's sort of a young girl's coming of age story. I thought to mention it since it takes place at Christmas.

1. One of her earlier books

is called "The Resistance," I think. It is very good. Try to find it, if you can.

2. Thanks! My library has it.

3. If this is your first Anita Shreve, you have to go find a copy of

The Last Time They Met. It left me reeling for a week. DO NOT READ THE LAST CHAPTER first or you will ruin the whole book!

4. Oh, man. Don't even get me started on TLTTM.

I bought it randomly, and while I think she's a decent writer with only a fair intellect (and poor plotting skills), that last chapter? Egh. That's one of the only books that has made me cry in like, three years.

6. Oh boy. I fgured it would be a zinger

But I'm still game and ready to give it a read. I'll be sure to have the tissues handy when I get to the last chapter.

5. Thanks - and sorry for the delay in replying

We left to go out of state the morning of your posting and only got back last week. So I just found your suggestion!

I'm now looking for books to dive into and have requested it from the library. They have a few copies available and I can hardly wait. Thanks again!
