Tessa Hadley: The Cusp of Something

Master chronicler of the heart’s hidden desires, Tessa Hadley (author of Late in the Day and After the Funeral) discusses her first novella. Following two sisters coming of age in post-war Bristol, The Party takes place over a weekend that bristles with yearning. Hear Hadley reflect on the way short-lived encounters can shock and release us into a new phase of life – how do we become who we are? Chaired by Georgina Godwin.
