### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Brilliant! A Rare and Amazing Work of Fiction.
  

*by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2017*

This is one of my personal Top 10 favorite books. It is hard for me to even imagine a book better than this one.  I've read The  Weight of Water numerous times, suggested it for my book club, where it was overwhelming well-received.As other reviewers have stated, there are two intertwining stories, and in both, you see that in each tale, the characters are heading for disaster. In the tale based on the actual Smuttynose murders, the reader can strongly feel the dark threat and sinister shadows lengthening as the action moves forward.  But the real "dark" lies in the story taking place in the present, as each foolish and self-centered iota of jealousy and malevolence builds upon  itself and gets stronger.  It is so subtle--and yet, strongly and clearly there.  The readers in my book club caught the hints even earlier in the book than I did.  Such a marvelous read!! I often wonder - "How did Anita Shreve do this?"As the evens of the present erupt into a psychological and actual storm, the corrupted souls of  the characters are exposed, and all can see the horrific results. Such a brilliant book!BTW - this wonderful book was given a disgraceful transfer to film. Of all the book-to-film entries I've ever seen, this is the worst.

    Loved it
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2024*

This author doesn’t ever disappoint. I loved it. She’s so good at drawing the emotions out of each of her characters and making them so real and believable.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Slightly engaging but not invested
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2023*

The setting is very engaging and the author did well to paint the picture of the islands and the sea.  However the two plots that are intertwined, sometimes on the same page, are not.  One set in the 1800's, a good tale and one that can be figured out before the end of the book.  The second, set in current day, rambled.  The character were vague, somewhat irritating (for multiple reasons) and for me - I was not invested in their situations.  There is a very good list of oddities in the book in Goodreads as a 3 star.  Can't wait for book club to see what others thought.
