Book 10 in Ved Mehta's extraordinary series of memoirs, Continents of Exile

Book 10 in Ved Mehta's Continents of Exile series. Nearly 50 years in the making, Continents of Exile is one of the great works of twentieth-century autobiography: the epic chronicle of an Indian family in the twentieth century. From 1930s India to 1950s Oxford and literary New York in the 1960s-80s, this is the story of the post-colonial twentieth century, as uniquely experienced and vividly recounted by Ved Mehta.

In lucid, sparse prose Mehta documents the twists and turns of a romantic history peppered with disappointment and anguish - that is until, in his search for self-understanding, he meets a surprising guide who shows the way toward new insights about himself and those he has loved.

Praise for All for Love

Mehta demonstrates more than a little bravery by stripping his life to its essentials, and he succeeds magnificently in his endeavour

Publisher's Weekly

His fall into blindness had broken open his perception so that nothing escapes him . . . he has a clarity that is sometimes like clairvoyance

Peter Ackroyd

Well-chosen details represent more than themselves... The trick is to choose the details, which Mehta does with consummate, sly skill

Michael Wood

Intelligent, critically observing ... extraordinary

Janet Malcolm, in praise of Continents of Exile
