BookBar BookClub: The Party with Tessa Hadley
Sign up, receive your book in advance of the book club with plenty of time to read it, send in the questions and discussion points you'd like us to talk about, and join a virtual interview with the author, in which we'll discuss the book.
December's BookClub pick is The Party by Tessa Hadley.
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.
Read a paperback copy of The Party and and join us for a virtual interview with the author, Tessa Hadley, on Tuesday 6th January at 7pm.
