    About this ebook

    The Stars Are Fire by Anita Shreve | Conversation Starters

    The Stars Are Fire, the latest novel by Anita Shreve, takes place in Maine in 1947. In October of 1947, Maine experienced widespread fires due to a drought and high winds. Grace Holland, lives in Maine. When the fires breakout, a pregnant Grace and her two small children must evacuate their homes, while her husband Gene volunteers to fight the fires. Grace, her mother, and her best friend are driven to the ocean as the fires take over their homes. Grace is left homeless and poor as she waits for word of her husband. She soon finds that this great tragedy can also bring great joy.

    The Stars Are Fire by Anita Shreve became a best seller for The New York Times in 2017. It has been called "masterful" by USA Today, and "evocative" by People.
