Samenvatting

A novel of love and its fragility, and the strength of family love, from the lauded, bestselling author of the Cazalet Chronicles.

The late 1960s. For Persephone 'Percy' Plover - the daughter of distant and neglectful parents - the innocent days of childhood are long past. Newly single, unemployed and living with her aunt, Percy finds herself drifting. When her aunt, a garden designer, is offered a few weeks of work in the West Country, dealing with the terraces and glasshouses of a once-beautiful manor house in Melton, Percy decides to join her. And Jack, the new owner of Melton House, recently divorced and desperate to avoid loneliness, may find a few things to keep her busy . . . Elizabeth Jane Howard's renowned wit and perception shines through in this touching account of tangled lives and loves. 'Graceful, moving . . . Howard's elegant prose, keen eye for detail and ability to make the reader care about her characters are second to none' Daily Express

From the bestselling author of the Cazalet Chronicles, Elizabeth Jane Howard, Love All is a heartfelt story of love and adulthood in the 1960s.

'Graceful, moving' – Daily Express

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, she is to deal with the terraces and glasshouses of the once beautiful local manor house – one that he has acquired at vast expense. He also has plans to start an arts festival, as a means to avoid the loneliness of divorce.

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.

As Jack's festival comes together, so shall these disparate souls – their relationships intertwining, and their loves transformed.

'Her talent seemed so effervescent, so unstoppable, that there was no predicting where it might take her' – Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.

Het boek is in het Engels...mooi Engels, een lust om te lezen. Speelt in de jaren 60, gaat over verdriet en liefde (kort door de bocht).
