Book Reviews of Light on Snow
Book Review: A Good Book
Summary: 3 Stars
This was an enjoyable and easy book to read. Anita Shreve always does such a wonderful job of bringing her characters to life.
This story is narrated by twelve year old Nicky Dillon. She and her father live in a secluded town in New Hampshire. One afternoon while they are snowshoeing they find a baby who has been abandoned in the freezing cold.
Nicky can't stop thinking about what if...What if we had never moved here? What if we had decided to stay home that afternoon? What if they had never found the baby?
I thought the story was good and realistic. The story was engaging with an element of suspense to it. The characters were real and the dialog believable.
This was a good book but not as developed as Fortune's Rocks and not as suspenseful as The Pilot's Wife.
Overall a good read.
