Flying Below The Radar
The Pilot's Wife was a very engrossing novel with well-developed, realistic characters . The story itself was quite haunting and revolved around the tragic in-flight death of Kathryn Lyons' husband, Jack, who was supposedly piloting the plane, when it suddenly disappeared from the radar screen near the coast of Ireland. As his wife, Kathryn's journey is one of self discovery as she deals with the many stages of grief and is forced to confront the possibility that her husband of sixteen years may have been leading a double life. The questions that the author, Anita Shreve, raises time and time again are: how well do we REALLY know the person to whom we are married? ... and how are we ever to know what they are REALLY thinking and feeling? These are complex issues surrounding the mysterious and controversial disappearance of Jack's airliner. Compelled to learn everything she can about her husband and the tragic crash of his plane, Kathryn pushes herself to face all his dark secrets. This is a fast- paced, unforgettable novel with a poignant, yet satisfying, conclusion. Read more
