As a paramedic Webster confronts death and serious injury on a daily basis and his experiences are a firm thread weaving their way through the story, speaking volumes about the man. They don't just tell us about his strengths, his heroism on occasions, but about his frailties too. His work gives a real tension to the plot and neatly balances what's happening at home. I read the book in two sittings: from choice it would have been just one.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Lives of Stella Bain by Anita Shreve]].
One man's obsession with a woman is mirrored in one of Shreve's earlier novels – [[All He Ever Wanted by Anita Shreve|All He Ever Wanted]], but if you're looking for more of Anita Shreve we can recommend [[Body Surfing by Anita Shreve|Body Surfing]]. YOu might also enjoy [[Love Notes for Freddie by Eva Rice]].
