Summary: Normal Shreve Novel
Comment: I have read several Anita Shreve novels. This one is like all the others a real good quick entertaining read. Nothing complicated about it just a good story. I have read better but I like when I need a break from more complicated authors to pick up a Shreve book. I liked Resistance the best our of her novels so far.

Rating: 3
Summary: An okay summer read
Comment: Anita Shreve's "The Weight of Water" Tells the story of Jean, a Boston freelance photographer hired to shoot a photo essay of famous 19th century murders. The novel also parallels Jean story with that of Maren the only survivor of the murder. Jean immediately identifies with Maren's bleak life and unhappy marriage.

This is a very difficult book to review without giving away any plot points, I find it very hard to draw parallels between Maren's and Jean's life - except for the fact that they both fail to appreciate the value of what they have. The real link between the two women is their incredible selfishness.

I have been a big fan of Anita Shreve's work since "Sea Glass," but didn't feel that her ability to make me sympathize with the characters showed itself in this work.
