Critics Review
‘A wonderful collection that swims in and out of women’s lives across time, exploring the struggle for freedom and love. I’ll be thinking about it for a long time - a book of quiet force.’ -Emily Perkins, author of Lioness
‘All Her Lives is a reckoning. A stunning tour de force of women’s lives across centuries, continents and political movements. The collection reads as a protest song book, calling through the ages for change, revolution and peace. Horrocks is one of the most powerful storytellers of our time and All Her Lives is the author’s most triumphant work.’ -Laura Jean McKay
’[Horrocks has a] A biographer’s awareness of defining moments or meetings, of motivation and revelation, of the social forces that shape behaviour. None of Horrocks’s characters exist in a vacuum … Any parent will recognise the stunning, sulking teenage girl “in the full blooming flare of a new-found fury.”’ -David Hill
‘Taken together, the stories in All Her Lives give women the space to be messy, ambitious, hopeful, afraid - to want for the things already in their grasp, and for things beyond what society expects of them.’ -Claire Williamson, Kete
