Take a 1940's woman, give her a perfect life near the beach, a handsome husband, two adorable toddlers, a best friend, then have a fire sweep through and upend her life overnight. This is a quick read owing to Shreve's lyrical writing style and her realist characters. I liked the resiliency of Grace, who must conjure up the intestinal fortitude to do some difficult things.
