About this Event
We are delighted to be hosting an evening in conversation with the literary powerhouse Tessa Hadley, to celebrate the release of her new book The Party.
On a winter Saturday night in post-war Bristol, sisters Moira and Evelyn, on the cusp of adulthood, go to an art students' party in a dockside pub; there they meet two men, Paul and Sinden, whose air of worlsliness and sophistication both intrugues and repels them. Sinden calls a few days later to invite them over to the grand suburban mansion Paul shares with his brother and sister, and Moira accepts despite Evelyn's misgivings.
As the night unfolds in this unfamiliar, glamourous new setting, the sisters learn things about themselves and each other that shock them, and release them into a new phase of their lives.
In this irresistible novella of two young women coming of age, Tessa Hadley explores the ever-changing desires, the sudden revelations and the lasting mysteries that are bound up with who we are, and who we might become.
We hope to see you there!
