i cannot stop thinking about this book and what an amazing author anita shreve is. the end is so incredible, it is one of the only books i am reading again just to see how it all fits together and make sense of the journey that i was taken on. i am sure i will smile upon rereading knowing what a fabulous character thomas janes is and how the strength of true love can haunt the imagination to such creativity that we will all be truly touched by reading this book.

If you're choosing between Fortune's Rocks and The last Time they Met? I'd say read them both!
Apparently Fortunes Rocks is part of a triology with Pilot's Wife and Sea Glass, but I think its just a connection with the actual property they live in...rather than the characters.
The Last Time they Met does share a character with Weight of Water and I'd say you definitely need to read The Last Time first ( I read them the other way around and The Weight of Water gives you information that if you catch on would highlight the twist in The Last Time they Met! - fortunately I just put it down to artistic licence and didn't catch on!)
The Last Time They Met is definitely one of Anita Shreves best novels...I read the last page of the book and was so amazed by the ending that I just sat with my mouth wide open for about 10 minutes...definitely one that I would read again.

What a brilliant novel! I finished this morning and have been in shock the entire day. As soon as I closed the cover I felt like crying. Anita Shreve is absolutely amazing.

I am in shock after finishing this book. I loved it, but am confused by the ending. I don't want to believe that it ended the way that it did. I will definitely re-read it. I also need to re-read The Weight of Water to look for further clues to Thomas. Anita Shreve is an amazing writer!

I enjoyed the book but feel that its the type of book you have to read twice, since the end was so shocking. I had to read the last page over and over again to realize that this was all in Thomas' imagination and that really devastated me. I was born in Kenya so found this book particulary good.
