All of You Every Single One

Julia Lindqvist leaves a marriage in Sweden for a life with Eve, a tailor in Vienna. In the city’s Jewish quarter, they begin constructing a home that allows them to live outside the roles others have chosen for them. Julia’s longing for a child complicates that fragile freedom, while the people drawn into their circle bring their own histories and needs. Ada Bauer, estranged from the expectations of her wealthy family, becomes part of this changing world. Across the upheavals of the early twentieth century, private desires meet forces that no household can keep outside forever. The novel follows the making and testing of a chosen family in a society increasingly hostile to difference.
