A Change in Altitude


When reading Anita Shreve's A CHANGE IN ALTITUDE I was constantly wondering what was happening next and wanting to keep the heroine from her self-destructive actions. In other words, I was really involved.

Shreve's words are beautiful, her settings divine. This saga takes place in Kenya. I now know more about the places and events she describes, but not to the exclusion of my caring for the story or the characters. Having read three of her books, I want more.
