The final novel from the universally acclaimed master and PEN/Faulkner winner James Salter. A sweeping, seductive love story set in the years after the Second World War.

‘Enthralling’ - John Banville, Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea
‘Effortlessly beautiful, funny, sexy and wise’ - Julie Myerson, Books of the Year, Observer

All That Is explores a life unfolding in a world on the brink of change.

The life is that of Philip Bowman and we see his formative experiences as a young naval officer in battles off Okinawa, his career as a book editor in New York after the Second World War, his trips to the great European cities – from publishing parties in London, to romantic holidays in Paris.

But despite his success, what eludes him is love. His first marriage sours, another fails to happen. Finally, he meets a woman who enthralls him, before setting him on a course he could never imagine for himself.

James Salter’s dazzling, seductive and haunting novel offers a fiercely intimate account of the great shocks and grand pleasures of being alive.

‘Full of verve and wisdom’ - Julian Barnes, Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of an Ending
