- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 25 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for an evening with much loved author Patrick Gale as he talks about his new novel Love Lane. 
1950s Northern England. Three generations of men, two of women. And A Place Called Winter‘s Harry Cane has returned from Canada….
When veteran Canadian wheat farmer, Harry Cane is obliged to sell up and sail home to an England transformed by two world wars, his arrival triggers unwelcome self-examination for the family he abandoned, and for whom he has never been more than a distant myth.
His daughter feels duty bound to take him in but is riven with doubt and ambushed by a long buried anger she has never before expressed. Harry’s effect on the next generation is less predictable, and enables his granddaughter to deal with an unspeakable trauma, while her gentle husband feels seen for who he truly is.
Can Harry stay and make a new life before it’s too late, or will he find himself cast out again, punished for having witnessed and understood too much?
From the rural plains of Canada to 1950s Liverpool and Yorkshire Love Lane is a searing portrayal of escape and entrapment, and a powerful exploration of what home and family can really be.
From the rural plains of Canada to 1950s Liverpool and Yorkshire, Love Lane is a searing portrayal of escape and entrapment, and a powerful exploration of what home and family can really be. Less a sequel to A Place Called Winter than an adjacent novel, it’s designed to stand alone and will equally excite fans of the earlier novel.
We hosted events with Patrick for his previous novels Take Nothing With You in 2018 and Mother’s Boy in 2022. Now, we are delighted to welcome back one of our favourite novelists to celebrate the publication of Love Lane.
Reviews
With Love Lane, Gale gets right to the secret joys and hidden heartbreaks of ordinary, flawed family life. A tender, delicately devastating novel – Sarah Waters
Miraculous, mischievous and quietly devastating, Love Lane is the irresistible story of five individuals, linked by the past and yet separated by the present. I have just fallen in love with a beautiful book – Rachel Joyce
Five threads of storytelling interweave to form the braid of a novel both poignant and elegiac. A story of missed opportunities and, ultimately, a memorable story of forgiveness – Sarah Winman
Tickets: £12 (Admits One, £10 redeemable against a signed copy of Love Lane) or £22 (Admits One &amp; includes a signed copy of Love Lane)
