BFL4 - The Meaning Of Home - Patrick Gale

We are delighted to welcome award-winning author Patrick Gale in conversation with fellow novelist Rachel Joyce (The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, The Homemade God) about Love Lane, his sequel to 'A Place Called Winter' which once again features Canadian wheat farmer Harry Cane. 

One of this country's best-loved novelists, Patrick Gale’s most recent works include A Perfectly Good Man, the Richard and Judy bestseller Notes From An Exhibition, the Costa-shortlisted A Place Called Winter and Mother's Boy. His original BBC television drama, Man In An Orange Shirt, was shown to great acclaim in 2017 as part of the BBC's Queer Britannia series, leading viewers around the world to discover his novels.

In Love Lane Canadian wheat farmer Harry Can returns to post-war England. Can he make a new life for himself before it’s too late, or will he find himself cast out again, punished for having witnessed and understood too much? 

‘Gale gets right to the secret joys and hidden heartbreaks of ordinary, flawed family life. A tender, delicately devastating novel.’ Sarah Waters
