Tangled webs of marriage and divorce, motherhood and sexual awakening, lovers, friends and siblings juxtaposed against the rhythms of daily life have been Tessa Hadley’s bailiwick through seven novels and three short-story collections.
Now with Free Love, she turns her keen eye onto the quintessentially conventional London suburban family unexpectedly caught up in the youth revolution of the 1960s and one woman’s awakening to the world and a new version of herself.
Considered one of England’s finest contemporary writers, Tessa Hadley is a former professor of creative writing at Bath Spa University.
