All He Ever Wanted

Average rating4
"A marriage is always two intersecting stories." This realization comes perhaps too late to the husband of Etna Bliss-a man whose obsession with his young wife begins at the moment of their first meeting, as he helps Etna and her companions escape from a fire in a hotel restaurant, and culminates in a marriage doomed by secrets and betrayal. Written with the intelligence and grace that are the hallmarks of Anita Shreve's bestselling novels, this gripping tale of desire, jealousy, and loss is peopled by unforgettable characters as real as the emotions that bring them together.

All He Ever Wanted places
a man outside a burning hotel
just in time for him to catch
a glimpse of a striking woman
who will linger in his mind
for the rest of his life.
Women's freedom...the nature
of love and obsession...the
chess-like moves of men in
their search for power and love...
all of these are compelling
aspects of this book. Recommended.
