Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners. Mark on top foredge.

One woman’s obsession with love and fate leads her to unexpected truths about passion, sexuality, and power in 1930s London.

Driven by a belief in love above all else, Teresa Hawkins leaves her life in Australia and moves to London in search of her destiny. After years of emotional distance within her family, and despite her naïveté of the vagaries of heartache, Teresa dedicates her life to the commandment “thou shalt love.”

Affection-starved and painfully vulnerable, she immediately focuses her affections on Jonathan Crow, her egotistical and indifferent Latin tutor. But it’s only through another man, an entirely unexpected influence on her life, that Teresa will gain full consciousness of her own sexuality and identity as a woman.

For Love Alone is a powerful novel written in an original voice—a feat of literary narrative by one of the twentieth century’s finest writers. This edition includes an introduction by Peter Craven.
