'An astute and accomplished work' Daily Mail Joyce Stevenson is
thirteen when her widowed mother takes them to live with Aunt Vera,
a formidable teacher neglected by her unfaithful husband. Joyce
watches the two sisters - her aunt's unbending dedication to the
life of the mind, her mother worn down by housework - and thinks
that each of them is powerless in her own way. For Joyce, art
school provides an escape route, and there she falls in love with
one of her teachers. When she marries and has children, she is
determined to manage her relationship with a new freedom, but will
she be able to save herself from the mistakes of the previous
generation? Or will her daughter, Zoe, only see Joyce as similarly
trapped? A poignant tale of navigating mothering and womanhood in
twentieth century Britain, Everything Will Be All Right is yet
another work of the finest beauty from Tessa Hadley.
