The War of the Roses
Fiction e-Book-of-the-Month, November 2001. OLIVER AND BARBARA ROSE have the perfect marriage...until their skin-deep relationship unravels into a war that escalates with every act of madness, catching their most prized possessions and their lives in a maelstrom of chaos. The success of both the book and the movie have brought the phrase War of the Roses into the accepted jargon describing the terrible hatred and cruelty that divorce proceedings can engender. Warren Alder's novels have been translated into more than two dozen languages and two have become major motion pictures, including The War of the Roses starring Michael Douglas and Random Hearts starring Harrison Ford. Mr. Adler's themes deal primarily with intimate human relationships, the nature of love and attraction, the fragile relationships between husbands and wives and parents and children, the corrupting power of money, and many other important universal themes. His books have been cited by readers and reviewers for their insight and wisdom in presenting and deciphering the complexities of contemporary life. Mr. Adler is the founder of the Jackson Hole Writer's Conference and has been Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Jackson Hole Public Library, one of the most important libraries in the west. When he is not writing, Mr. Adler lectures on creative writing, motion picture adaptation and the future of electronic books.
