She wrote the details of history, from the 19th century to the 1920s to the second world war, as if she had lived them herself,” said her publisher Hachette in a statement. “In all of her work, Anita deftly explored the intricacies and nuances of relationships between men and women, often hinging on the ripple effects of a single, dramatic moment. Shreve’s most recent novel was The Stars Are Fire, in which a pregnant woman tries to protect her toddlers as fire ravages the coast of Maine in 1947. The novel sold more than three million copies after it was selected for Oprah’s book club. After overhearing a conversation about an airplane crash at a party, Shreve wrote her 2002 novel The Pilot’s Wife, the story of a woman whose pilot husband dies in a crash, only for her to discover that he might not have been the man she thought she knew.
