That's it, no more Anita Shreve books

I read The Pilot's Wife this past weekend, which I'm pretty sure prompted a rather disturbing dream I had about a family member last night.

My mother and I were in a store that had CNN playing on a TV suspended from
the ceiling. It was showing a story about a deadbeat dad the authorities
were looking for. They had surveillance video of the guy getting money from
an ATM, and it was my dad! Apparently he had a wife and kid elsewhere that
we didn't know about (a la The Pilot's Wife).

I had already decided that I'm fed up with her work because I haven't read a single book of hers in which infidelity doesn't play some role. I mean, really - the woman must have been cheated on at some point, because that's all. she. writes. about.
