Across three generations, it tells a deeply humane story of reckoning and return.Book now for what is sure to be a truly special evening in the company of much-loved author Patrick Gale.
Love Lane:
When Harry Cane, a veteran Canadian wheat farmer, is forced to sell up and sail back to an England reshaped by two world wars, his arrival unsettles the family he abandoned decades earlier — a family for whom he has existed only as a distant myth. His daughter, torn between duty and long-buried anger, reluctantly takes him in. Yet Harry’s presence has unexpected consequences for the next generation: enabling his granddaughter to confront an unspeakable trauma, and allowing her gentle husband, at last, to feel seen for who he truly is.
As Harry faces the question of whether it is possible to make a new life before it is too late, Love Lane becomes a moving meditation on memory, forgiveness, and the fragile bonds that hold families together.
Tickets range from £5 for student/inclusive to £25 including a copy of the hardback.
