For Love Alone

Christina Stead
For Love Alone is the story of the intelligent and determined Teresa Hawkins, who believes in passionate love and yearns to experience it.
Superbly evoking life in Sydney and London in the 1930s, For Love Alone is the story of the intelligent and determined Teresa Hawkins, who believes in passionate love and yearns to experience it.

Reunited with Crow in London, she begins to realise that perhaps he is not as worthy of her affections as originally thought.
