Death of Anita Shreve

"I shall miss finding a new book by Anita. I loved her straight forward yet spellbinding prose.I was born in Netherlands and am now Australian.I read her books in both languages and will reread them."

"I have only just discovered that Anita Shreve has died and am so sorry that she suffered in the latter part of her life. She was one of the truly great authors, showing immense imagination in her carefully-crafted writing. I have always romped through her books, wanting to find out more page by page. I am part-way through reading "The Stars are Fire" and shall enjoy the rest of it the more, knowing that it is her last."

"I have thoroughly enjoyed many of her books. Definitely one of my favorite authors. Eden Close was my first of Anitas books. She was such an incredibly talented author who brings your right into the novel. She will be missed."

" a great writer & inspiration for us all- sad to learn she is no longer with us however her body of work will always be read and reread"

"My favorite author. Im so sorry that there will be no new novels, but her stories will live on. Her characters and themes are haunting and psychological...It is interesting to reread her work at different stages of life. Her creative depth will continue to inspire."

"I thought that I had read all of Anita Shreve's novels but recently a friend gave me Stars on Fire. I just today found out that she had died in 2018. I am beyond sad about her passing, and wish to extend my deepest sympathy to those closest to her.
