The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve pages 1-29.

SUMMARY:)

This book is about a woman, Kathryn, whose husband was a pilot, named Jack Lyons. She had a fifteen-year-old daughter, Mattie.
At 3.24 am, Kathryn heard a knocking on the door. She was scared and unsure who it might be in the early morning. When she opened it, she saw a man standing. It was Robert Hart, a man from The Union. He told her that her husband had an aeroplane explosion. She was extremely shocked. The memories she had with Jack then started to spin in her head, the first time they met at her grandmother's shop and what they usually did when Jack was home. Later she found the right time to tell her daughter about it. Mattie just could not believe what she had heard. She, too, was in a great shock.



RESPONSE:)

I pretty like this story. It is exciting though I haven't got to know the rest of the story. The first time I read it, I was imagining it like a movie I have watched before (I can't remember the title!xD). I thought the storyline would be the same. I was wrong though. So glad! Hehe. I think it would be an awesome book. It would be great for me who love to collect novels. I would be like, "Wow! Another great book in my bookshelf!". Hmm... Anyway, I cannot predict what might happen next now coz` I haven't read that far... *sobbing:'(*
