Love Lane

In Conversation with Raffaella Barker.

One of Britain’s best-loved storytellers returns to Bridport Literary Festival to talk about his beguiling new work of fiction, an epic portrait of what it means to make a home spanning three generations of one family.
Although it’s a standalone novel, Love Lane features one of Gale’s most memorable characters, Canadian farmer Harry Cane, protagonist of the Costa Award-shortlisted A Place Called Winter. Forced to sell up on the prairies and return to a Britain transformed by two world wars, he receives a mixed reception from his family. Can Harry make a new life for himself or will he be cast out again?

“A tender, delicately devastating novel.ˮ –  Sarah Waters.
