<p><b>An unforgettable story about two sisters and a night that changes everything, from the master chronicler of our heart's hidden desires.</b></p><p><b>'Tessa Hadley is my favourite author' </b>KATE ATKINSON<br><br><i>Evelyn had the surprising thought that bodies were sometimes wiser than the people inside them. She'd have liked to impress somebody with this idea, but couldn't explain it.</i><br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br><b>'Few writers give me such consistent pleasure'</b><br>ZADIE SMITH<br><br><b>'Hadley's extraordinary skill [is] making both surface life and deep interiors come fully alive'</b><br>COLM TÓIBÍN<br><br><b>'Tessa Hadley recruits admirers with each book'</b><br>HILARY MANTEL<br><br><b>*A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE <i>SUNDAY TIMES</i>*</b></p>
