What if the choices of women centuries apart could echo across time?

A sister haunted by her return from war. A young woman discovering her identity at a Berlin rave in the mid-2000s. A mother whose son’s climate activism threatens everything she’s built. At the heart of these fictional stories is Mary Wollstonecraft, the radical 18th-century feminist whose own struggles with love, loss and revolution illuminate the threads that connect all their lives.

From quiet moments of caregiving and curiosity to acts of bold rebellion, the women in this striking story collection navigate the eternal tensions between duty and desire, safety and freedom, the past they’ve inherited and the future they’re determined to create.

All Her Lives brings together extraordinary women fighting to define themselves on their own terms. At once vast and intimate.

'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, author of The Animals in That Country

'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.

'[Horrock's has a] biographer's awareness of defining moments or meetings, of motivation and revelation, of the social forces that shape behaviour. None of Horrock'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, The Listener.
