I am running out of words as to how your book has ruined me, Anita Shreve. And so I will resort to quoting from their brief exchange of love letters - a more adequate show of the agony you have put me through: "So much has been left unsaid.

Moving backward through time, The Last Time They Met traces the extraordinary resonance a single choice, even a single word, can have over the course of a lifetime. At the same time, the novel creates an almost unbearable mystery, a mystery that can only be understood fully in the novel's final pages, in the eyes of young Linda Fallon and the young man who loves her. With a master's control of phrase, observation, emotion, and character, Anita Shreve has written a beautiful and unforgettable exploration of intimacy, loss, and lifelong desire

The flavor was divine. There was a knack to eating the things he hadn’t mastered yet, a way of peeling the skin and removing the stone and cutting the fruit into decorous slices to place on a white china plate; but the best he could manage was to stand over a sink and suck on the flesh

At a literary festival a poet named Linda Fallon meets for the first time in years a fellow poet, Thomas Janes, whose fame has grown during a decade of seclusion. This is no chance meeting.

Brilliantly ambitious and powerfully written, THE LAST TIME THEY MET is a tale not so much of life, but of a life not lived.
Reviews about The Last Time They Met (7):

"The Last Time They Met" is the story of Linda and Thomas and unfulfilled love. The book tells the story of two teenagers who find themselves as soul mates, yet are separated due to choices that are not their own. The story is told from the adult point of view and describes their meetings as adults, but even though their love is still strong, conditions never allow them to be truly together.
The beginning of the book was good and kept my interest, even though I found it disjointed. People and situations were mentioned and I would feel like I had dozed off and missed some relevant info explaining who or what was being referred to, but eventually an explanation would be given. I found this frustrating.
I actually skimmed through the middle of the book, it was bogged down with poetic descriptions that weren't really relevant to the story. The last 75 pages did make me glad I had not given up and not finished the book. The end, which left me wondering, I liked. I believe that Ms. Shreve could have made a more interesting book by leaving out the majority of the months in Africa.

As usual, I love Ms Shreve`s style of writing and I did feel very connected to these characters. But, for such immersion and depth and a long, internally and emotionally complex story to be resolved and conclude so abruptly, so suddenly.....I mean, I get it, but it felt like the author just suddenly ran out of steam. I felt somewhat cheated.

Read this for book club. Waited two weeks to give it a ranking, and I’ve already forgotten the entire book other than that I didn’t like it....That should tell you something.
Dangerous
I loved, loved this book--so much so that soon as I finished it I started it over again. Like most of the late Ms. Shreve's stories, this one isn't comic. But it is gorgeous, a brilliant piece of literary legerdemain. The last couple of sentences are indelible, among the most exquisite I've ever read.

Anita Shreve knows how to craft a creative novel, with almost lyrical prose. THE LAST TIME THEY MET is no exception.
Linda and Thomas, poets and former lovers, are reunited at a writer's conference decades later. I don't want to say too much, to give away plot twists or spoil the book.
I thought the second section of the book, twenty-six years before the first, was less compelling than the first, but the third section more than made up for he middle part.

Shreve never disappoints. I want to consume these novels in one gulp. This is one that gives a new perspective each and every time you re-read it.

I believe that this book can be appreciated best by one who has reached middle age. Looking back on your life and knowing that one event, one moment, can change the entire course of your life. The book starts from the present and moves back in time. The book is written uniquely, with the characters' conversations written in italics rather than placing quotes. The poignancy of the unrequited love was felt throughout the book. The reader knows that something happened in their past to alter their lives, however, this information is not known until the last paragraph of the book. Ms. Shreve has an exceptional ability to capture the thoughts and emotions of the characters and put these in words. I cried throughout the book feeling the love that existed in the hearts of this man and woman. When I reached the end of the book I was surprised. I had to go back to the beginning and reread parts of the novel. I soon realized that the ending was the only ending that was possible. It explained everything. I have never read a book this emotionally moving.
It is rare that I am so disappointed in a book that I can't find much to redeem it. This is one of those instances.
This was the choice for my book club. Right from the get-go I had problems with the way the author writes the dialogue. I guess that should have been a clue as to what was up, but I missed it. It was just irritating.
The there was all the coincidences in Linda and Thomas meeting at various times.
I hate when someone tells too much of the story in a review, so I won't go into too much. I shall say this - the author let me down as a reader. What she does at the end, she may feel is a new "gimmick", but it has made me determined to not read another of her books.
If you are so inclined to read this, or as in my case it is your book club's selection, I would suggest checking it out at the library. Also, don't get too involved in caring about the characters. It will be sure to save you money and the agony of feeling what a waste.
