| Publisher Description: A memoir of the vibrant mid-Sixties that illuminates both the real life and powerful imagination of an articulate Beatlemaniac spending a lonely year in Paris. In a series of poignant and humorous fantasies about her romance with Paul McCartney, a young Beth Kaplan writes her way into adolescence, the dawning of sexual awareness and the world of real boys. " The child with the Beatles fixation finds her way deep into the reader's heart. " --WAYSON CHOY, author of The Jade Peony and other books " Lovely writing -- very revealing and very moving. " --SUZETTE COUTURE, award-winning screenwriter/producer " All My Loving is honest, evocative, beautifully written and very funny. " --ROSEMARY SHIPTON, co-founder of Ryerson University's Publishing Program " The gorgeous, heartfelt memoir of a lonely, imaginative girl growing up in 1964 with the Beatles as the soundtrack of her life. " -- LAUREL CROZA, award-winning writer " Kaplan's very rich portrait of a family and a time draws us inside her years as a misunderstood outsider. " --JIM PURDY, screenwriter/director/producer ABOUT THE AUTHOR Beth Kaplan's book about her great-grandfather, Finding the Jewish Shakespeare: The Life and Legacy of Jacob Gordon , was hailed by famed playwright Tony Kushner as "witty, shrewd and elegant." For years a professional actress, she now teaches memoir and essay writing at the University of Toronto and Ryerson University; in 2012 she was given University of Toronto's Excellence in Teaching Award. |
