Resistance
Resistance: A Novel | Anita Shreve
10 posts | 20 read | 9 to read
This tale of impossible love--told with the same narrative grace and keen eye for human emotion that have distinguished all of Anita Shreve's cherished bestsellers--leads us into a harrowing world where forbidden passions have catastrophic consequences. In a Nazi-occupied Belgian village, Claire Daussois, the wife of a resistance worker, shelters a wounded American bomber pilot in a secret attic hideaway. As she nurses him back to health, Claire is drawn into an affair that seems strong enough to conquer all--until the brutal realities of war intrude, shattering every idea she ever had about love, trust, and betrayal.

Slowly getting through my 6 books by her. She is very prolific. After these probably won‘t read her again. This one I enjoyed more than the last two. About a downed pilot in wartime Belgium. Adventure, suspense, romance and ok ending. And of course her lovely descriptions and writing. Published in 1995.

all_4_kb I read every single one of her books. I love her !!! 3y

Came upon a table with 10 books for a dollar. Didn‘t get 10 but took these 6. Not sure if I‘ve read them. I‘m thinking I‘ve only ever read a couple of her books. Couldn‘t pass these by. So I shall see.

CarolynM Bargain! I've never read Shreve. Is she any good? 3y
Jeg @CarolynM I‘m not sure . The one I did read I think I enjoyed.😏. 3y
LeeRHarry I have enjoyed the books of hers that I have read 😊 3y

In German-occupied #Belgium Claire, married to a member of the Resistance, is used to hiding people in the attic but Ted, an American pilot, is different. This book is set over a period of a month after Ted‘s plane crash lands, when he‘s rescued by a young local boy, and Claire and Ted become ever closer. Heartbreaking and terrible; I loved it.

Another Belgium-set novel, this time with a wartime plot about the WW2 resistance movement in the country and an illicit romance. I've never read any Anita Shreve before, but I really liked this. She has quite a detailed, intense way of writing.

Very sad news about the passing of Anita Shreve. Resistance will always be one of my favourite books. The love affair between Claire and Ted is one that will live with me forever.

I have read quite a few of Anita Shreve's books over the years and have enjoyed all of them. Such a beautiful storyteller who will be missed.

Found this old water damaged book out alone in the rain. And like any true bookworm, it broke my heart so I am giving it a home. Can't wait to read this beautiful looking book.. 😍📚

Shemac77 I love that you feel this way. I do the same. 8y

Tanner A few years ago I found a copy of The Kite Runner on my dewy front lawn. Of course I had to give it a home. 😊❤️📚 8y
