A marriage on the rocks. A family in disarray. A weekend in the sun at a luxury, all-inclusive hotel. What could possibly go wrong?

Jo and Dave haven't had a holiday in years. They've had other things on their plate: failed IVF, the death of Dave's mother, doing up the bathroom.

So when Dave’s flashy brother Teddy offers to fly in from Dubai and take them – along with his gorgeous young girlfriend and their curmudgeonly father – to a beachfront resort in the Med, the couple can hardly refuse.

But while romance might be on the cards for some, Jo and Dave soon find that tensions don't disappear in paradise. In fact, they might just get worse...

Set over the course of one scorching weekend, All In is a compulsively entertaining and bittersweet novel that asks: when life gets choppy, how does love stay afloat?

Critic reviews

Intensely funny… profoundly touching… a very superior literary beach read, the sort of book that you need to finish urgently but that lives on in your head for years (India Knight)
Captures the reality of various relationships on the rocks with startling accuracy and emotional intimacy. I laughed, I cried, I couldn’t pull my eyes away (Daisy Jones)
Perfectly observed characters in the pressure cooker of an all-inclusive holiday... I loved it (Luke Kennard)
Powell excels at writing about the thousands of paper cuts that kill a relationship and does it with humour and honesty
A brilliantly relatable novel... superb (Zoe West)
I loved Claire Powell's poignant and funny novel about a luxury family holiday that is far from idyllic (Kate Wills)
Beneath the sunshine and glamour old resentments and family tensions simmer... A perfect poolside read
A wish-you-weren't here postcard... messy drama ensues, but All In's strength lies in its quieter, touching truths about siblings and spouses (Hepzibah Anderson)
What Claire Powell does so beautifully is to write about the messy humanity of being a person just trying to exist in the world (Sara Manning)
I couldn’t stop reading... Claire Powell is a real talent (JENNIE GODFREY, author of The List of Suspicious Things)
All stars
Most relevant
Claire's powers of observation are almost supernatural and I find her books an absolute joy to read. All In is filled to the brim with quiet profundity - taking the mundanity that makes up all of our lives and holding it up to the light.

Real people, real problems; money, marriage, infertility, disappointment, grief... I'm already desperate for book three!

The World On A Pinhead

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A short mundane story about 5 people who I struggled to like. Not my cup of tea. No depth, no twists, no real storyline. A lot of ‘he said, she said’.

Dull
