review 1: This was a surprising little story. I had made a quick trip to the library to return two books that were due. I had walked to my local branch without my purse or key chains, which holds my library card. So I briefly glanced at the new books that had come out and since I had liked other books by Anita Shreveport, I brought "Stella Bain" home. Often I will quit a book if in the first two chapters it doesn't grab me. And I almost gave up on this one, but because I had nothing else to read, I kept going. And it was really worth going on!
review 2: Anita Shreve is one of my favourite authors, and I have read most of her books. This one is her best, in my opinion. Stella, the main character, is an American volunteer nursing aide during WW1. Her story is engrossing, t... morehe details of the war evocative, and her character drawn in more detail than other Shreve women. I sometimes find Shreve's female characters too laconic and elusive, but Stella is a firecracker. I was sorry when this book ended, and wanted to remain in its world for longer. less
