***THE PILOT'S WIFE***

ALSO AVAILABLE

The year is 1929 and Honora Beecher and her husband, Sexton, are just settling into a new marriage and a cottage on the coast of New Hampshire. While Honora fixes up the derelict house and searches for bits of sea glass on the beach, Sexton risks everything they own to buy the house they both love.

Along with millions of other Americans, he is blindsided by the stock market crash and finds himself penniless. The only work he can find is a nearly mill, where a labour conflict is erupting into violence. Shaken by forces they scarcely understand, Honora and Sexton try to build a marriage and home while overwhelmed by passions of every kind.

Writing with the power and immediacy that have made her novels bestsellers, Shreve unfolds interlocking lives, each with its own share of love, loss and challenge. This is another gripping and unforgettable story of the human heart from one of the most accomplished novelists of our time.

Review

Set in the Depression era of the 1930s in New Hampshire, Sea Glass tells the story of Honora Beecher; quiet and unassuming, married to Sexton and mostly content. Sexton is a successful salesman and spends time away from home selling typewriters, whilst Honora keeps house and whiles away hours searching for washed up sea glass on the beach.

Honora's story alternates with those of her mother - told via the letters she sends her middle class neighbour Vivian, and lower-class workers from the local textile mill, which all culminate to paint the scene for the imminent mill strike over wage cuts.

Shreve has already written nine novels, including The Pilot's Wife - the biggest-selling trade paperback in America in 1999. Her appeal is apparent from her elegant style and skilful writing.
