 The Pilot's Wife byAnita Shreve Little Brown & Co. 293 pages, 1999 ISBN 0316601950 Reviewed by Nancy Duncan On the surface, Kathryn Lyon's life is the epitome of what dreams are made of. She has a lovely home, a beautiful teenage daughter, and a husband she adores. It isn't until the sudden and tragic death of her husband that Kathryn Lyon becomes aware that her ideal life in a small New England town may have been based on deceit. Once she is informed that her husband has died in an airplane crash, her picture perfect world is turned upside down, as unexpected truths are exposed. As details of her husband's secret life surface, Kathryn becomes astutely aware of how little she knew about her husband's meanderings away from home. Shreve has captured the often complex and complicated details that make up a marriage that is at once taken for granted and has grown comfortably secure. As Kathryn copes with the pain of her loss, she must grapple with each mysterious piece of information that sheds light on the man she loved. As the days pass, Kathryn struggles to face the truth. To protect her daughter from the publicity surrounding her father's death, she sets out to discover the truth. As the mystery of Jack's death unfolds, so does the intrigue behind Jack's life as a pilot, husband, and man. If you're looking for a quick, entertaining read, The Pilot's Wife is the perfect choice. |
