| book description |

An exhilarating winter tale of two sisters drawn into a new life of risk, passion and possibility, from the Sunday Times bestseller. ‘Tessa Hadley is my favourite author’ KATE ATKINSON 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 worldliness and sophistication both intrigues 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, glamorous new setting, the sisters learn things about themselves and each other that shock them, and release them into a new phase of their lives. *A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR* ‘Few writers give me such consistent pleasure’ ZADIE SMITH ‘A glimmering tale of two sisters’ FT ‘Hadley’s extraordinary skill [is] making both surface life and deep interiors come fully alive’ COLM TÓIBÍN ‘Hadley recruits admirers with each book’ HILARY MANTEL
