scott spencer plays again with his favorite theme'obsession'

I am an avid fan of scott spencer( Endless Love,Waking The Dead) who is believed to be one of the greatest american writers of the past three decades. 'Secret Anniversaries'is a story of two lesbians,a world war, a Nazi sypathizer senator,a rebellious photographer and, of course, different shades of love. A small town girl is caught between her conscience and loyalty to her girlfriend, when a rebellious photographer urges her to fight fascists hidden in American Government. The female protagonist swings between her passion and adoration for her girlfriend and her moral conscience. Scott Spencer sizzles with brilliant metaphors, intense imagery and deep understanding of human relations. This story is about love, about sex ( The lovemaking scene between the two women reminds readers of the famous lovemaking episode in Scott Spencer's most famous work, 'Endless Love'.)and about courage to follow one's beliefs. The narrative spans from the turbulant 40s to the confused seventies. Scott Spencer is unarguably one of the most influential and intense writers, who is a must for those who love intensity and brilliance of language in books.
