Come and discuss a book chosen by the group. This month's discussion will feature: Body Surfing by Anita Shreve. (DoctorFate) Anita Shreve: Stella Bain *at Longfellow Books* Stella Bain by Anita Shreve Saturday, November 23rd, 6:00pm at Longfellow Books An epic story, set against the backdrop of World War I, from bestselling author Anita Shreve... When an American woman, Stella Bain, is found suffering from severe shell shock in an exclusive garden in London, surgeon August Bridge and his wife selflessly agree to take her in. A gesture of goodwill turns into something more as Bridge quickly develops a clinical interest in his houseguest. Stella had been working as a nurse's aide near the front, but she can't remember anything prior to four months earlier when she was found wounded on a French battlefield.
In a narrative that takes us from London to America and back again, Shreve has created an engrossing and wrenching tale about love and the meaning of memory, set against the haunting backdrop of a war that destroyed an entire generation. "Shreve's 17th novel is a tragic yet hopeful story of love, memory, loss, and rebuilding ... The novel is both tender and harsh ... Shreve's thoughtful, provocative historical tale has modern resonance." -Publishers Weekly

Sheila haunts his thoughts, and despite his misgivings, Peter is soon embroiled in an intense love affair. Nineteen years later, Sheila is long gone and Peter is raising their daughter, Rowan, alone—until a phone call from Sheila alters their quiet existence, bringing long-buried questions back to the surface. A story about trespass and forgiveness, secrets and the seismic force of the truth, Rescue is a masterful portrayal of a family trying to understand its own fractured past and begin again. Anita Shreve is the acclaimed author of 15 previous novels, including A Change in Altitude, Testimony, and The Pilot’s Wife, which was an Oprah Book Club selection.

(BordersEvents) Anita Shreve for A Change in Altitude Anita Shreve, A Change in Altitude.Author: Anita Shreve began writing fiction while working as a high school teacher. Although one of her first published stories, Past the Island, Drifting, was awarded an O. Henry Prize in 1975, Anita felt she couldn't make a living as a fiction writer so she became a journalist. She traveled to Africa, and spent three years in Kenya, writing articles that appeared in magazines such as Quest, US, and Newsweek. Back in the United States, she turned to raising her children and writing freelance articles for magazines. Anita later expanded two of these articles — both published in The New York Times Magazine — into the nonfiction books: Remaking Motherhood and Women Together, Women Alone. At the same time, Anita also began working on her first novel, Eden Close. With its publication in 1989, she gave up journalism for writing fiction full time, thrilled, as she says, with "the rush of freedom that I could make it up." Since Eden Close, Anita has written eleven other novels: Strange Fits of Passion, Where or When, Resistance, The Weight of Water, The Pilot's Wife, Fortune's Rocks, The Last Time They Met, Sea Glass, All He Ever Wanted, Light on Snow, A Wedding in December and, most recently, Body Surfing. In 1998, Anita received the PEN/L. L. Winship Award and the New England Book Award for fiction. More at www.AnitaShreve.com
