All the Day Long. A Novel by Howard Spring
€8.00
Quay Books
Maria Legassick, the youngest daughter of a Cornish vicar, narrates this story of her family.
Her brother Roger aspires to an academic career and her sister Louisa is impatient to break free and change the world. Maria despises her other sister, Bella, who demands little from life. Meanwhile their dour father writes ecclesiastical books which will never be read.
The book moves from the apparently unchanging world of the past, into modern times, and ends with Maria where she began, with only her memories remaining.
Howard Spring (1889 – 1965) was a Welsh author and journalist, his most successful novel was Fame Is the Spur (1940).
Published by Collins in 1960.
