Publisher's Synopsis
A man receives a bill one day for a white chandelier that he never ordered and has never seen. This mysterious document turns out to be the hinge of his world; his attempts to make sense of it lead him to facts about himself, his marriage and his orderly life that had previously been hidden from him. The undoing of carefully nurtured illusions, and his discovery of painful and exhilarating new truths, form the foundations of as dramatic a novel as Anita Shreve has ever written. Set in New England and Florida during the 1920s, All He Ever Wanted gives us a marriage, betrayal and the search for redemption from the vantage points of both a husband and a wife.
