Chronicle Concering Books Light on Snow
I found the book in a quaint, but minuscule secondhand bookshop in the middle of nowhere. Since I've read one of the author's books before, I decided to read this one as well. It was such a delight to find in the first place there. It was one of the very few better choices. And I liked the reading experience. A twelve-year-old girl, Nicky, and her widowed dad, Robert, finds a baby in the snow. The Dillon's secluded life out in the New Hampshire's woods are suddenly not so simple anymore. They saved the baby's life; they were responsible; and brave, but suddenly their lives changed without them being in the driver's seat of their destiny. The follow-up events opens up their hidden feelings which they were unable to share with each other, or the outside world, without them turning the key in the lock of their unspoken private worlds themselves. It is a book for young adults, I would say, and a really gentle,fast, enjoyable read, but with a deep enough base to have me staying riveted to the story from the beginning to end. The book addresses the different forms of honesty, grief, happiness, love and choices. The young girl observes the events and is introduced into the world of serious issues, bigger than herself, very fast. A relaxing and feel-good read. The book is also very well written with all the plots coming together perfectly in the end. I would love to read more of the author's books.

Is that it? Really? I've read better pieces of news about the same subject and that provoked in me deeper emotions than this book.Talk about disappointment. Plus, the writing was bland and so were the characters.Nicky was okay. She was really mature and her thoughts were surprisingly insightful for her age.However, her father was a selfish, cowardly man, too lost in his own grief to support a young daughter going through the same process. And Charlotte? Her story could have been so much moreI had a quick dip into this last night and finished it this morning, as its quite big print, a page-turner, and the last twenty pages are an extract from another of Anita Shreves books. I thought I had another few minutes reading to enjoy, and all of a sudden the story ended! Of course I have come across this before, but I forget about it until it happens, and then I always find it mildly irritating, because I feel Ive been short-changed in my expectation of when the story Im currently reading
In general, I dont abide well with clutter. Its not that Im an OCD clean freak; lifes too short to fret over a few dust bunnies. I simply function better in a reasonably neat and structured environment. However, when it comes to my TBR list, its about as pell-mell as one can get. My reading tastes are hither-and-yon, and numerical TBR sequencing is simply a formality. So I think of my TBR as a literary menagerie for leisure enjoyment; No pressures. No deadlines. Reading whatever, whenever, in no

I read this book to be a good book club member. The target audience appeared to be young adult women, so this book was not really my thing. That being said, it took only about four hours to read, which was a plus (and is why the book is worthy of two stars). Many of the characters seemed like caricatures, and many of their actions were not very believable. The narrator was supposedly 30 at the time the narration was occurring, but sounds like she is 12. Young adult women who like coming of age
Finishing either the 4th or 5th Anita Shreve book and I'm just wrecked, as usual. It happens the same way every time so far. I begin reading, the story is set on the East Coast, Vermont, New Hampshire, by the ocean, and I think to myself, hmm, I don't think I can relate to this. The character seems cold, or strange, alien. Then a few page turns and I'm enraptured. Shreve has a talent that I wish I had, the talent of describing something that is indescribable to most people. Daily moments or
What happens when a 12 year old girl and her father find a crying baby in the snow filled woods next to their home? Well, you will have to read Light on Snow to find out. I think you will be glad you did because it is another well written story by Anita Shreve that grabs hold of you and keeps you entertained and turning pages. I have read all of Anita Shreve's books, although I haven't shelved them all on Goodreads yet. They have all been very good and several of them are exceptional. If you
