Synopsis: A family's love is tested--and ultimately strengthened--in this affecting yet slyly comic novel of 1970s America Paula Sharp, whose novel Crows Over a Wheatfield was described by Entertainment Weekly as "riveting...beautifully written," has an extraordinary talent for blending the political with the personal. In I Loved You All, she hones that talent to perfection. Marguerite Daigle struggles to survive in a small New York town she considers the edge of nowhere, always holding her family together by a thread. In the summer of 1977, that thread unravels when her older daughter forms a bond with a zealous but well-meaning religious right-to-lifer. A lyrical, funny, and moving portrait of family life, and of the peculiarly American politics of abortion rights, I Loved You All demonstrates once again that Paula Sharp is a writer of formidable abilities.
