A review by scremes
All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West

reflective fast-paced

4.0

This is perhaps the greatest novel on the subject of old age I’ve ever read. Love in the Time of Cholera also touches close to the heart of that phase of life, but in All Passion Spent Sackville-West delves into with the most delicate and successful of probes the rarely explored mind of one for whom life has become all rear-view and death is the only item awaiting in the agenda. Goregously wrought prose.
