With All My Worldly Goods (1968) - Plot & Excerpts
This was one of Mary Burchell's first efforts that she wrote in 1938. Her work certainly improved over the years as she progressed with her writing. I recognize things have changed since 1938, but I just could not relate to the hero or heroine and I found the story to be so far fetched that I lost interest. The only positive, was it was very well written.√ Heroine was a complete ninny, who would do anything for "lurve" even allow herself to be poisoned by her husband and marry a man she knew was only after her money.√ Hero was an unlikable fortune hunter that only ever considered himself and refused to go to the police when he found out his ex-mistress was (view spoiler)[ poisoning his wife. Instead he helps her to leave the country. (hide spoiler)]
