All In

De: Claire Powell

Brought to you by Penguin.

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?

Reseñas de la Crítica

Captures the reality of various relationships on the rocks with startling accuracy and emotional intimacy. I laughed, I cried, I couldn’t pull my eyes away (Daisy Jones)

Powell's 2022 debut At the Table was one of my favourite books of that year: painful, funny, deeply insightful and relatable. Her new family drama follows couple Jo and Dave... who hope an all-expenses paid holiday in the sun will fix their problems (Joanne Finney)

One for fans of The Wedding People and White Lotus

One of those novels I couldn’t stop reading. Filled with heart it captures all the awkwardness of family dynamics and navigating marriage with such compassion and authenticity. Claire Powell is a real talent (JENNIE GODFREY, author of The List of Suspicious Things)

I haven't enjoyed a book so much in ages. It's completely absorbing, and excruciating (in the best way). I was having such fun reading that its emotional undertow caught me off guard. I had tears in my eyes at the end (REBECCA WAIT, author of I'm Sorry You Feel That Way)

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)

Quietly devastating. Not a word out of place (SARAH VAUGHAN, author of Anatomy of a Scandal)

An exquisitely observed, propulsively plotted story of a family in free fall (JOE DUNTHORNE, author of Submarine)

A deliciously messy tale of marriage, money, and miscommunication. Familial and romantic love are pushed to the brink in this all-too-believable holiday from hell (CHLOË ASHBY, author of Wet Paint)

As funny and sad as a dropped ice cream (ANDREW HUNTER MURRAY, author of A Beginner's Guide to Breaking and Entering)
