All He Ever Wanted: A Novel

“Boldly plotted and inventively told. . . . [from] a natural-born storyteller. . . . a story of obsessive love. . . . artfully explores . . . emotions provoked by passion” —Booklist

“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.

“Shreve is a master at depicting passion's ferocious grip. . . . there's something addictive about her literary tales of lust and love.” —USA Today

“Shreve is by far one of the finest novelists of her time.” —Boston Herald.
