The Pilot's Wife

Just finished Anita Shreve's The Pilot's Wife. It's an insightful tale of loss and betrayal.

As the story opens, Kathryn, a pilot's wife, has been told that her husband's plane has crashed and there are no survivors. The book follows Kathryn into the numbing, silent, surreal world known to those who suffer loss. Memories of her happy marriage engulf her and paralyze her, but she begins to cope with the help of a kind man from the pilot's union. In the second half of the book, Kathryn pieces together clues left by her husband that lead to shocking revelations about him, and eventually, the healing process begins.

I don't usually read these type of books but it was a very fast read (it took me three days) and was thought-provoking.
