The Pilots Wife by Anita Shreve is a 1999 Bay Back Books publication. I read this book a long time ago, before I become a member of Goodreads and well before I started writing book reviews. But, when I heard of Anita Shreves passing, this book came back to the forefront of my mind, as I recalled bits and pieces of it quite vividly. Although I have so many books to review, with deadlines, no less, I couldnt resist giving this book a second look. This novel, when it was first released, benefitedI had read so many great things about this book, and I saw it in a used book store, so I bought it. I really didn't enjoy it.
I actually read this book quite a few years ago but have been trying to update my "read" books. I have read a few books by Anita Shreve and for the most part I enjoy her writing and her stories.She did a good job of showing Kathryn's grief and confusion making the reader feel as though this is something that they could be going through themselves.

While dealing with all the initial shock as well as dealing with the grief of their 15 year old daughter, she
This is the second Anita Shreve book I've read. I like how the author writes and describes the scenes and emotions. The flaskbacks of her early family life were partically good. Her tone impresses me, although Sea Glass seemed to flow a little better. I was hooked in the beginning and I felt Kathryn's pain. That half of the book I felt was written well but when Shreve attempts the different plot twists during the second half of the book, I lost interest. Which is sad, because those plot twists
Who is the real wife: the one who was protected and was never left behind or the one to whom the deepest secrets were shared?After fifteen years of marriage, Kathryn Lyons woke up to the news that the plane piloted by her husband Jack crashed, killing 103 passengers.
