'An incredible new talent' Marian Keyes
A marriage on the rocks. A family in disarray. A weekend in the sun at a luxury, all-inclusive hotel. What could possibly go wrong?
Jo and Dave haven't had a holiday in years. They've had other things on their plate: failed IVF, the death of Dave's mother, doing up the bathroom.
So when Dave's flashy brother Teddy offers to fly in from Dubai and take them - along with his gorgeous young girlfriend and their curmudgeonly father - to a beachfront resort in the Med, the couple can hardly refuse.
But while romance might be on the cards for some, Jo and Dave soon find that tensions don't disappear in paradise. In fact, they might just get worse...
Set over the course of one scorching weekend, All In is a compulsively entertaining and bittersweet novel that asks: when life gets choppy, how does love stay afloat?

Rezensionen / Stimmen
Elegant, sensitive and sympathetic, All In is rigorously honest, fun-filled and full of Claire Powell's trademark dry wit -- JESSICA STANLEY, author of Consider Yourself Kissed A painfully funny, honest and compassionate novel written with superb precision and psychological acuity -- CHETNA MAROO, author of Western Lane Quietly devastating. Not a word out of place -- SARAH VAUGHAN, author of Anatomy of a Scandal Brilliantly observed and beautifully written. It takes real genius to turn a believably awful family holiday into a painful, funny and touching examination of a marriage... I loved it -- LISSA EVANS, author of Old Baggage Brilliant... expertly drawn family drama, loveable flawed characters and a very sweet dog... a perfect holiday read -- CLAIRE LYNCH, author of A Family Matter Irresistible, wry and absorbing, All In is both deeply fun and wildly compelling... A heartstopper of a novel -- FLYNN BERRY, author of Northern Spy Deeply funny and jaw-droppingly emotionally astute... By turns melancholy, sexy, existential, hilarious - tautly encapsulated in the all-inclusive purgatory of a luxury holiday -- LUKE KENNARD, author of The Transitions
