All He Ever Wanted
All He Ever Wanted: A Novel | Anita Shreve
1 post | 10 read | 2 to read
"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.

This was number 3 out the 6 I‘m going to read. It‘s narrator is male and I had to keep reminding myself of that fact. I‘m not sure I liked having just the one point of view. Again great descriptions and beautiful writing but the story did not thrill me. I started next one I have, it‘s set in WW 2 and I‘m not sure I will finish it. I‘ll give it one more session.
So far I‘ve only enjoyed 1 from this lot and 1 I read years ago.
