The wife gains a measure of freedom, but how does the repressive, abandoned husband feel about that freedom? Set in the early 1900s in the fictional New England college town of Thrupp, and narrated by the pompous Nicholas Van Tassel, All He Ever Wanted is at once an academic satire, a period novel, and a tale of suspense. Shreve's ability to nimbly hop through genres brings a liveliness to this story of love gone depressingly wrong. Van Tassel is an undistinguished professor of rhetoric at Thrupp College and a confirmed bachelor when he meets--in no less flamy a scenario than a hotel fire--the arresting Miss Etna Bliss. Immediately smitten, he woos and wins her. At least, he persuades her to become his wife. But Van Tassel hasn't really won her. Etna keeps her secrets and her feelings to herself. The extent of her withholding only becomes clear after a couple of kids and a decade or so of marriage. Then we find out that she's been creating a secret haven for herself all along. Van Tassel is in turn revealed--through his own priggish, puffed-up sentences--as something of a monster. The book is cleverly done; watching Etna through Van Tassel's eyes is like looking at beautiful bird from a hungry cat's point of view. But Van Tassel's voice might be too well written; he's pedantic and dull and snarky all at once, and by the end we find that we, like Etna, can't bear his company a minute longer.--Claire Dederer","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx246t19kn1s0n7xnpqy9g93.jpg?v=fdd69be1c5","LCF~BetQ?w4T00WXX9xb0fMxxa.8",372,[315],{"id":316,"slug":317,"name":318},"01kx246t13e4k2f90rbmx61ang","anita-shreve-upzf","Anita Shreve",[320,321],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":15},{"id":25,"name":26,"slug":27,"is_fiction":15},[],{"pace":324,"complexity":7,"audience":63,"mood":325,"themes":326,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[65,98],[282,200,327],"dual-timeline",{"id":329,"slug":330,"title":331,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":332,"cover_blurhash":7,"first_publish_year":333,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":334,"authors":335,"genres":340,"series":343,"enrichment":344},"01kx2b3zb5dgnmhmprp0rytwpv","mrs-ames-bejt","Mrs Ames","https:\u002F\u002Fbooks.google.com\u002Fbooks\u002Fcontent?id=KEA1WfiRvKAC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api",2007,176,[336],{"id":337,"slug":338,"name":339},"01kjqdwncyet4jjsjs4kpt690k","e-f-benson-kugd","E.

So when the film’s mercurial director casts Vera Larios, an unknown Mexican ingenue, in the lead role, she quickly becomes the talk of the town. Vera also becomes an object of envy for Nancy Hartley, a bit player whose career has stalled and who will do anything to win the fame she believes she richly deserves. Two actresses, both determined to make it to the top in Golden Age Hollywood—a city overflowing with gossip, scandal, and intrigue—make for a sizzling combination. But this is the tale of three women, for it is also the story of the princess Salome herself, consumed with desire for the fiery prophet who foretells the doom of her stepfather, Herod: a woman torn between the decree of duty and the yearning of her heart. Before the curtain comes down, there will be tears and tragedy aplenty in this sexy Technicolor saga.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7cv14d6cg47j5wmm3c4a7g.jpg?v=65e5ef8e04","L4Ac6%Rn0L1H{eEM?Gb]02E|^P}Y",2024,"5.00",352,[359],{"id":360,"slug":361,"name":362},"01kjv2nvnbabh774q7e90dkdnk","silvia-moreno-garcia-2wbg","Silvia Moreno-Garcia",[364,365],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":15},{"id":25,"name":26,"slug":27,"is_fiction":15},[],{"pace":61,"complexity":7,"audience":63,"mood":368,"themes":369,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[65,66],[170,327],[371,554,733],{"key":372,"params":373,"works":374},"genre_year",{"genre":26,"year":8},[375,403,435,465,495,524],{"id":376,"slug":377,"title":378,"description":379,"primary_cover_url":380,"cover_blurhash":381,"first_publish_year":382,"community_rating_avg":356,"community_rating_count":11,"page_count":257,"authors":383,"genres":388,"series":393,"enrichment":394},"01kvra4btz80ymtdcyxt7gf854","the-sea-of-tranquility-gr0z","The Sea of Tranquility","Katja Millay's debut novel tells the story of two badly damaged teenagers from alternating first-person points of view. Nastya was once bound for a career as a concert pianist; a traumatic event she refuses to discuss left her hand too damaged to ever play again and took her voice along with it — she hasn't spoken a word in more than a year. Starting over in a new town, she means to keep her past buried and everyone else at a distance.\n\nJosh Bennett, seventeen and just as alone, has lost every person in his family and lives by himself in the house they left behind, keeping the world out through sheer discipline. When Nastya insinuates herself into his life anyway, the two form a bond built less on explanation than on the shared relief of being around someone who doesn't ask questions — until the pull between them makes the questions impossible to keep avoiding.\n\nTold in a deliberately slow, introspective register, The Sea of Tranquility is a coming-of-age novel about trauma, grief, and the long, halting work of learning to trust another person again.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kvra4btz80ymtdcyxt7gf854.jpg?v=134748176a","LSI#r*j[00j[00RjIUxt~qRj%Ms:",2012,[384],{"id":385,"slug":386,"name":387},"01kvra4bvascq6a6bfzhvwsjgp","katja-millay-pkyo","Katja Millay",[389,390,391,392],{"id":25,"name":26,"slug":27,"is_fiction":15},{"id":265,"name":266,"slug":267,"is_fiction":15},{"id":219,"name":220,"slug":221,"is_fiction":15},{"id":233,"name":234,"slug":235,"is_fiction":15},[],{"pace":324,"complexity":7,"audience":133,"mood":395,"themes":399,"setting_period":7,"summary":402,"content_warnings":7},[396,397,98,398],"sad","emotional","hopeful",[400,401],"coming-of-age","slow-burn","Two and a half years after a devastating, still-unexplained tragedy left her hand ruined and her voice silent, former piano prodigy Nastya Kashnikov starts over at a new high school determined to keep everyone at arm's length.

Instead, Anne is consumed with sinful thoughts - ones that no unmarried girl should ever have for a man who isn't her husband... But Josiah Cromwell is no stranger. It's been six years since Josiah stole kisses from Anne, his best friend's younger sister. Six years since Josiah left after his best friend's death, burdened by the knowledge that he was responsible for destroying Anne's family. Now he's returned to claim the woman he can't live without. But even as their desire threatens to consume them both - body and soul - the dark workings of suspicion and witchcraft are afoot. Because in Salem, too much passion can lead a woman to ruin... and condemned to death.\n \nREVIEW\nHaving read the first book in the series I was quite enthused to receive a copy of An Unexpected Sin.This story took place during the time of the Salem Witch Trials. This was a very dangerous time in history where persons had to be very careful as the least appearance of the unusual could result in one being accused of witchcraft.An Unexpected Sin tells the story of Anne Scudder and Josiah Cromwell. These two were close friends since childhood, however due to tragedy in the Scudder family Josiah was forced to leave Salem. After several years of separation, Josiah decided to return home with the intention to make amends with the Scudder family and to Anne as his wife.Josiah’s past is shrouded with secrets. A secret which could cost him his life and the life of those dear and near to him if it were to be revealed and one that could lead him losing Anne. I found him to be lacking in faith as he doubted that he would not be able to be with Anne. Anne on the other hand was upbeat and very optimistic about their relationship. What I liked most about Anne is that her belief in Josiah never wavered.The author’s portrayal of the characters makes it easy for one to empathize with them and to understand why they believed they had to do the things they did.An Unexpected Sin is a poignant story of love, separation, secrets, guilt, forgiveness and healing.The lessons to be learnt from this story are :Painful secrets can destroy lives and cause emotional and physical pain.You should not blame yourself for someone else’s decision. We each have to take responsibility for our own actions and decisions.I enjoyed this story from beginning to end. If you love to read historical romance then get yourself a copy of An Unexpected Sin.DISCLOSURE: I WAS PROVIDED WITH AN ARC IN EXCHANGE FOR A HONEST REVIEW.","none","rv-01kxq67dh4aq6cy699775byr6w",[],"2026-07-17T04:44:16.000000Z"]
