Critical Praise
"Colorful storytelling at its best, satisfying and entertaining."
-Jeanne Ray, Boston Herald
"Sea Glass is gripping. . . . The drama unfolds quickly and, for those unfamiliar with Shreve's vibrating conclusions, surprisingly."
-Cynthia Smith, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Shreve's four-hankie plots are pure silk, and her characters are so real you can feel them sitting next to you on the couch."
-Michelle Vellucci, People
"Shreve's lyrical language, her characteristic understanding of the human heart and its melancholy follies, the insightful way she uses historic events as the backdrop for her intimate personal story—all add up to make Sea Glass a keeper."
