A wildly entertaining and occasionally heartbreaking story of frustrated longing, and the lengths we will go for those we love--even if they don't love us in return An Ocean Without a Shore, from the bestselling, critically acclaimed author of Endless Love and Man in the Woods, is a beautifully rendered exploration of that most timeless of human dilemmas: the one in which your love is left unreturned. Since their college days, Kip Woods has been infatuated with Thaddeus Kaufman, who, years later, is a married father of two children and desperately trying to revive a failing career. Kip's devotion to Thaddeus has been life-defining and destiny-altering, but it has been one that Thaddeus has either failed to notice or refused to acknowledge. But over the course of this heated and mesmerizing novel, set against a background of privilege and affluence in Manhattan and the Hudson Valley, Kip will be forced to reckon with the prison of his own making and decide how much he is willing to sacrifice for a love that may never be shared. Picking up where his most recent novel, River Under the Road, left off, but writing squarely in the vein of Endless Love, his classic novel of passion and obsession, Scott Spencer gives us an intimate, immersive, and unsettling portrait of the devastation we will wreak in the name of love, and the bitterness of a friendship ravaged by fathomless yearning.
Avery Jankowsky is a thirty-seven-year-old Manhattan writer scraping by on freelance assignments. Despite his lack of ambition, and very much to his own surprise, he has won the affections of Deirdre, a Columbia grad student many years his junior. But when Deirdre tells him that she has been having an affair, Avery's world is shattered.
The story explores the complexities of desire and morality through Daniel Emerson, who struggles with his feelings for Iris Davenport while living with Kate Ellis and her daughter, Ruby. A blizzard traps him at Iris's home, igniting a passionate affair that threatens their relationships, careers, and the well-being of their children. As they navigate this tumultuous situation, the characters confront their own racial biases and self-perceptions, challenging their beliefs about love, fidelity, and the nature of goodness.
The classic novel that has been translated into over twenty languages and has sold more than two million copies worldwide One of the most celebrated novels of its time, Endless Love remains perhaps the most powerful book ever written about young love. Riveting, compulsively readable, and ferociously sexual, Endless Love tells the story of David Axelrod and his overwhelming love for Jade Butterfield. David and Jade are consumed with each other: their rapport, their desire, their sexuality, take them further than they understand. And when Jade's father banishes David from the home, he fantasizes the forgiveness his rescue of the family will bring, and he sets a "perfectly safe" fire to their house. What unfolds is a nightmare, a dark world in which David's love is a crime and a disease, a world of anonymous phone calls, crazy letters, and new fears—and the inevitable and punishing pursuit of the one thing that remains most real to him: his endless love for Jade and her family. Published in 1979 and hailed as "one of the best books of the year" by the New York Times, Endless Love is the novel that first established Scott Spencer as "the contemporary American master of the love story" (Publishers Weekly).

Manchmal setzt das blinde Verlangen jede Ordnung außer Kraft. Daniel Emersons Leben mit seiner Freundin und deren Tochter verläuft in geregelten Bahnen. Bis ein heftiger Schneesturm über die kleine Stadt am Hudson River hinwegfegt. Und während die schneeüberladenen Bäume unter ihrem eigenen Gewicht zusammenbrechen, die Stadt im Chaos versinkt und alle Gesetze aufgehoben scheinen, verbringt Daniel eine leidenschaftliche Nacht mit der schwarzen Studentin Iris, die er lange schon heimlich begehrt. Eine Nacht, die alles verändert. Auf einmal sind alle Grundlagen seines Lebens in Gefahr: Seine Beziehung, seine Arbeit, das Wohl des Kindes, sein eigener moralischer Anspruch. Aber endlich ist Liebe das, was sie sein sollte: Die Bereitschaft, notfalls dafür zu sterben. Doch was darf Leidenschaft? Und was wiegt schwerer: Die Ordnung der Dinge oder die Liebe, die diese Ordnung außer Kraft setzt? Nominiert für den National Book Award.
