"Thrilling"* with an ingenious structure,
Strange Fits of Passion
powerful portrait of truth, deception, and a troubled marriage from acclaimed novelist Anita Shreve.

The New Yorker

But after Maureen suffers another brutal beating, she flees with her infant daughter to a coastal town in Maine. The weeks pass slowly, and just as Maureen settles into her new life and new identity, Harrold reappears, bringing the story to a violent, unforgettable climax.
Nearly nineteen years later, a cache of documents regarding Maureen English is given to her daughter by a journalist. The truth should lie within them, but the papers raise far more questions than they answer...
