Critical Praise
"Instantly captivating."
-Atlantic Monthly
"The Last Time They Met is a flat-out, can't put-it-down page-turner....A riveting story that teases and confounds as it moves back in time from the end to the start of a love affair."
-Chicago Tribune
"Shreve's game of mirrors provides a shivery entertainment.... Few other contemporary novelists weave past and present so skillfully, capturing the seamless texture of time."
-Newsday
"Compelling....Shreve can render her characters' dark interiors with a tenderness void of judgment, thereby capturing the essential frailty of the human condition....Riveting."
-Boston Globe
"A poignant novel....so astonishingly well-constructed that when you're finished you'll want to reread it all at once."
