More about the book
Eddie Anderson has achieved everything he dreamed of as the son of poor Greek immigrants. He is a wealthy man in a secure position, owning a beautiful house with a swimming pool in L.A., while his wife and daughter drive their own cars. He could be proud and happy. However, he bitterly realizes that money and professional success cannot fill the inner void of a life constrained by conventions. In this crisis, he becomes infatuated with the attractive and uninhibited Gwendolyn Hunt. Faced with the choice of giving up the comforts of his current life or sacrificing the girl, he attempts to rearrange his priorities. He separates from Gwendolyn, but after months of desperate efforts, he must acknowledge that he has become too entangled in the web of unrestrained passion.
