Light on Snow

By: Anita Shreve

Narrated by: Alyson Silverman

What makes a family? That's what twelve-year-old Nicky Dillon wonders after she and her widowed father discover a wailing abandoned baby in the snow-filled woods near their New Hampshire home. Through the days that follow, the Dillons and an unexpected visitor who soon turns up at their door-a young woman evidently haunted by her own terrible choices-face a thicket of decisions, each seeming to carry equal possibilities of heartbreak and redemption. Writing with all the emotional resonance that has drawn millions of readers around the world to her fiction, Anita Shreve unfolds in Light on Snow a tender and surprising novel about love and its consequences.

Shreve succeeds

I have been ambivalent about Anita Shreve's books. But I really enjoyed Light on Snow. It held my interest and I didn't find it at all boring. The narrator did a good job telling the story as a 12 year old.

Outstanding!

Really well written. Fascinating, story, and characters, excellent narrator- perfect for this character. A trifecta!

Shreve rocks!

I love all of Anita Shreve's books and this one does not disappoint. Great narration, great story!

Great Story

I listened to this book just after '50 Shades of Grey' which was, let's face it, repetitiously boring with juvenile dialog. This book had a great story line that kept me interested. I couldn't wait to see what happened. Anita Shreve's books are always about human frailties and the situations caused by them. I'm a great fan of hers.

A bit slow moving

The story was interesting, told through the eyes of a 112year old girl ministry say it got slow (what really happen ed to the baby? Will the dad ever 1 get his acct together? Kinda sad v2 year old hard t get through
