In this novel by the author of The Berlin Stories, a listless pair of siblings in post-WWI London battle the constraints of society and their mother.

It’s the 1920s—the wake of the Great War—and Britain is undergoing a transformation. The middle class is struggling, and the younger generation, feeling constrained by the values that once fueled the empire, is yearning to break free . . .

A new war is brewing in the slums of Kensington, London. The members of one family are plotting daily against each other and themselves. Philip Lindsay has quit his office job and dreams of becoming an artist. His sister ,Joan, is in love. To get what they want, they must first get away from their overbearing mother . . .

Originally published in 1928, All the Conspirators was Christopher Isherwood’s first novel. He later went on to write such works as The Berlin Stories, A Single Man, and Goodbye to Berlin.
