Book SynopsisTrade ReviewPRAISE FOR A CHANGE IN ALTITUDE:"Visual and sharply focused...Shreve knows how to keep a reader engaged." -- Washington Post "No one is better at gently, but thoroughly probing the interior life of her characters than Anita Shreve...A Change in Altitude reflects many of Shreve's familiar themes: loss and grief, the relationship between a man and woman, and how one moment can change a life forever. Shreve weaves a strong mix of exotic Africa and interesting characters, producing a potent story that will keep readers thinking about them long after the last page of the novel." -- Newsday "Shreve takes readers from Nairobi's lush suburbs to its fetid slums, from the drawing-room world of the white gentry to that of its black servants...A Change in Altitude rises a few thousand feet above typical women's fiction." -- USA Today "Prepare to cancel all your appointments as you race through this dramatic saga...Enthralling. The mountains Margaret must climb-literally, and figuratively-are difficult ones. Readers will be eager to learn if she successfully scales the peak." -- Bookpage "A winner. Once again, Shreve's fans can approach her book with the confident anticipation that she will provide yet another satisfying experience. A Change in Altitude is an unusual kind of page-turner, part whodunit, part adventure story...Readers will vicariously enjoy all facets of this adventure in Africa from the safety of their own armchair." -- Free-Lance Star
