All This and Heaven Too is a sweeping historical novel that blends romance, mystery, and biographical detail. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France and America, the story follows Henriette Deluzy-Desportes, a governess whose life is upended by a scandalous trial that shook the French aristocracy. Rachel Field masterfully dramatizes the real-life events involving her own great-aunt, exploring the complexities of duty, passion, and social reputation.
As Henriette navigates the treacherous waters of the Duc de Praslin's household, she finds herself caught in a web of jealousy and tragedy that eventually leads her to a new life across the Atlantic. This evocative work captures the elegance and turmoil of the Victorian era, offering a profound look at a woman's resilience in the face of public disgrace. Through vivid prose and rich historical atmosphere, the narrative explores themes of redemption and the search for belonging. All This and Heaven Too remains a classic of biographical fiction, celebrated for its emotional depth and its portrayal of a woman who survived a scandal that captivated two continents.
