Description

All Her Lives follows women across generations as they resist, nurture, and transform. These are lives shaped by love and politics, motherhood and memory, constraint and defiance.

From girls raised in the garden of Plunket founder Truby King, to a queer university student at a mid-2000s Berlin rave, to a mother facing the cost of her son's climate rebellion, the women of All Her Lives are complex, resilient and deeply human. Shadowing their stories is the early feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft, whose journey of grief and revolution will become a vessel for what endures—and for finding hope.

Vast and intimate, All Her Lives explores the layered selfhood of women—all that they inherit, sacrifice, imagine, and carry forward—and the power found in unravelling and reweaving those selves on their own terms. It is Ingrid Horrocks's first work of fiction.
