I love all of Anita Shreve's writing, the characters, the descriptions and the emotions. She's the only writer that can make me cry (I'm as tough as old boots) but now she's got a young rival on the scene from the UK called Victoria Watson. Letting Go is a wonderful collection of short stories all relating to the theme of change. Victoria has pinpointed a particular moment in her characters' lives where a split second decision has changed everything for them.Look back at your own life and examine how you got from A to B to C and how easily everything could be totally different. Some of these stories will break your heart but they are so sensitively written and so well observed. Thisis a woman who can not only see into her characters' minds but also their hearts and souls. I can't wait for Victoria Watson's first novel because it's going to be awesome.
