Anita Shreve has a way of telling a story that makes the reader feel as though he/she is part of the story. In The Stars Are Fire, Grace Holland faces extreme hardship as well as great joy... along with some hard choices, indecision and guilt. I was guessing at …more the outcome right up to the last page.

The use of written correspondence and diary entries to tell the story gave the reader an intimate view of the characters' lives as they struggled through such a terrible time. There was as much pain and suffering back home as on the battlefield. A fast read for me... needed …more to know what actually happened that fateful night. Very thoroughly researched. I highly recommend this book for historical fiction lovers.(less)
