Synopsis
From the bestselling author of the Cazelet Chronicles comes Elizabeth Jane Howard's Love All. The late 1960s. For Persephone Plover, the daughter of distant and neglectful parents, the innocent, isolated days of childhood are long past. Now she must deal with the emotions of an adult world . . . Meanwhile in Melton, in the West Country, Jack Curtis - a self-made millionaire - has employed Persephone's aunt, a garden designer in her sixties, to deal with the terraces and glasshouses of the once beautiful local manor house he has acquired at vast expense. He also has plans to start an arts festival, as a means to avoid the loneliness of the recently divorced. Also in Melton are the Musgrove siblings, Thomas and Mary, whose parents originally owned and lived in Melton House. They are still trying to cope with emotional consequences of the tragic death of Thomas's wife, Celia . . . as is Francis, Celia's brother, who has come to live with them and thereby, perhaps, to find his way through life.

Praise for Elizabeth Jane Howard’s previous novels
‘She is one of those novelists who shows, through her work, what the novel is for... She helps us to do the necessary thing - open our eyes and our hearts’

‘She has afine feminine sensibility, and we come to know those lovely, untidy girls, those elegant but wretched wives and widows, in detail that is as true as it is poignant’
SELINA HASTINGS
‘A dazzling historical reconstruction... much more than most novelists, she is interested in the quality of happiness’
PENELOPE FITZGERALD
‘This fine saga gets stronger with each passing page... one of the literary classics’
