All the Day Long. A Novel

Hardcover. All the Day Long by Howard Spring. Slight foxing to end inside covers and edge. Slightly rolled spine. Wear and tear to edge of D/J. Couple of small pieces of D/J. missing. The book opens as an idylle in a beautiful part of Crnwall, with the vicarage looking out upon the sea, the stern old isolated father writing away for ever at ecclesiastical books that no ine reads; Roger dreaming of a career in scholarship; Louisa impatient, passionate, eager to be awat andf at work in a world she wants to change; Bella slothful and asking of life nothing but its unmindful satisfactions; in the background a chorus of rustics, including the sexcton, Thomas May, one of those Howard Spring characters who go to the heart. Maria is the observer who outlives them all. Beginning in a world that seems unchanging, the book moves into our own time, clouded with menance and anxiety, and it leaves Maria where she began - back in her Cornish village, with nothing left but her memories. 510 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
