[From front jacket flap] "I know only one commandment: thou shalt love." So says Teresa Hawkins. This imaginative, high-minded girl, obsessed with love and sex, pins her affection on the first possible object - the execrable Jonathan Crow, who coaches her in Latin. And when he gets a scholarship from Sydney University to study abroad she slaves and starves to save the money to follow him to London. She preserves her imagined love for him in the face of his indifference and contempt, for, says she, "to love is to give for ever without stint, and not to ask for the slightest thing". It is James Quick, her ebullient, warm-hearted employer, who saves Teresa from Jonathan Crow - and makes her conscious of her power as a woman. For Love Alone is a vivid and vital example of Christina Stead's rich talent. "Christina Stead writes in the tradition of the great novelists, the master-writers of the past, to whom writing a novel was indeed a task of God-like creation." - Herald Tribune, New York "One of the finest prose writers in our tongue." - Spectator, London "Christina Stead is a deep and disturbing writer. To read her is to capture, as in D. H. Lawrence, as in Patrick White, a feeling of the dark currents in human nature, the sombre forces beneath life itself. She is also very entertaining, for she is an acute observer of the surface of life. but her real genius lies in her imaginative response to the quality of things. . ." - Jean Battersby, Sydney Morning Herald.

Hardback. 1. For Love Alone is the story of the intelligent and determined Teresa Hawkins, who believes in passionate love and yearns to experience it. Superbly evoking life in Sydney and London in the 1930s, For Love Alone is the story of the intelligent and determined Teresa Hawkins, who believes in passionate love and yearns to experience it. She focuses her energy on Jonathan Crow, an unlikeable and arrogant man whom she follows to London after four long years of working in a factory and living at home with her loveless family. Reunited with Crow in London, she begins to realise that perhaps he is not as worthy of her affections as originally thought. Angus and Robertson, 1986. A near fine copy in a near fine d/w.
