Hardback. The time is 1978. The place is a small English seaside resort, locked in winter. Here Adam McBride has come, seeking refuge and solitude the 42-year-old survivor of a bitter marriage. The place is as dead and empty as McBride himself.Then, in a draughty seafront coffee bar, he sees the girl. Her name is Emily. She is 18, and hardly more than a child. She wears a robin-red mackintosh and knitted mittens with ducks on them. And she is lovely, lovely beyond all McBride's imaginings. She is youth and innocence and beauty; everything he thought he had lost and left behind him for ever.All We Know of Heaven is their love-story - Emily's and McBride's - and the story of Emily's young friends, each in his own way touched by Emily's experience. It is the story of a young girl initiated into all the varied ecstasies of the flesh; of a man restored to wholeness through love. It is the story of pas- sion, of two people who, against all the odds, find in each other, for the little span allowed them, a perfect completion of body and spirit.For a little while. Because All We Know of Heaven is also the story of their parting; fate, jealous as always of too much human happiness, quick to take away what it seems to have given so freely, contrives that Emily and McBride shall be together for only a few short weeks. Somehow the two of them must face a tragic and final separation - and try to find, through the strength of their love, an answer to one of life's most dreadful questions.All We Know of Heaven is not like anything you have ever read before. It is both a beautiful and passionate celebration of sex and a richly romantic affirmation of the spiritual power of love. It is a novel for our time, and a book that will hold its own unique place in the long history of love-story literature. Secondhand. Good Condition. Seller Inventory # 24752643
