Book Description:
A man and a woman sustain a life-long passionate relationship even though they have been together only three times.
At a literary festival in Toronto, Linda Fallon encounters the man who was once at the center of her life: Thomas Janes, the famous poet. Since last seeing him, she has married, given birth, and been widowed. Thomas' appearance rocks Linda, raises questions she had long abandoned, and inspires new dreams.
The Last Time They Met moves backward to explore Linda's life years earlier, at age 26, when an affair with Thomas shattered her life, and at age 17, when they first met.
In this mesmerizing novel, Shreve examines the resilience of emotion and the extraordinary repercussions a single choice, even a single word, can have over a lifetime.

This is my favorite Shreve book. There was a lot of back and forth and at times hard to follow, but a great story. I am in such awe of this author. I could not put this down. DO NOT be tempted to read the ending ahead of time. The ending will blow your mind as others have said, but I enjoyed the ending which, to me, totally set this author apart from the others. She went where no one else would dare to. I read this quite a few years ago and this was one of those books that just stayed with me. This is the #1 Shreve book with Eden Close a very close second.

Barbara L. (A truely wonderful novel! I loved the ending...it shocked me!
I think I missed something. The book started slow and then picked up. Yet, when I finished it I really felt as though I missed something. I passed it on to a few friends and they felt the same. Not her best work.
Pretty good book. It was a little slow in the beginning, but it started to really pick up in the 2nd half. I liked Sea Glass a little better, but this is a good and quick read.
Yet another Anita Shreve with a plot turn that you didn't see coming. Very intriguing angle by going backwards in time. Loved it!
A wonderful love story from the author of "The Pilots Wife" and "Sea Glass".
A story about an undying love affair, sometimes sweet and sometimes tragic with a secret that keeps you guessing.
A chance meeting of 2 old lovers brings both of them more than they bargained for.
A very good book wich is actually a prequel and a sequel to \"The Weight of Water\".
