"With each new book by Tessa Hadley, I grow more convinced that she’s one of the greatest stylists alive... her quietly elegant style and muted wit are triumphs... the everyday tragedies and betrayals of domestic life [are] rendered by Hadley’s prose into something extraordinary... The tone of Late in the Day is perhaps Hadley’s most delicate accomplishment." (Ron Charles Washington Post)
"Tessa Hadley is one of our finest writers. The sensitivity of her psychological insight and understanding is unmatched by anyone writing today... [in Late in the Day], Hadley comes into her own. It’s glorious stuff: moving, beautiful and so enjoyable. All hail Queen Tessa!" (Robbie Millen and James Marriott The Times *Books of the Year*)
"You know you are in safe hands with Tessa Hadley who, on a sheer sentence-by-sentence level, delivers more enjoyment than almost any other living writer... you'll be hanging on to every word." (Claire Allfree Daily Mail *The Best Holiday Reading*)
"There may be no historical newness to women’s disenchantment with male authority, but it feels new to write about it with this much raw honesty... It’s to her great credit that Hadley manages to be old-fashioned and modernist and brilliantly postmodern all at once... Unlocking age-old mysteries in ways both revelatory and inevitable. We’ve seen this before, and we’ve never seen this before, and it’s spectacular." (New York Times)
"My favourite novel of 2019 by a long way was Tessa Hadley's Late in the Day... Hadley is a beautifully descriptive writer and a penetrating observer of human nature." (James Marriott Sunday Times *Books of the Year*)
"Like all Hadley’s novels, Late in the Day enthrals. " (Tatler)
"Tessa Hadley picks apart the stitches of marriage, friendship and self with an almost forensic curiosity [in Late in the Day], cementing her place as one of Britain's finest writers of contemporary fiction." (Vogue)
"Hadley examines profound areas of life – friendship, marriage, parenthood, grief, love – with a delightful precision, hitting different nails on the head over and over again... Her novel is full of these piercing little moments of revelation... [because of] the crispness of Hadley’s narrative, and the wisdom of her observations: you trust her... [Late in the Day has] a touch of genius." (Mail on Sunday)
"Another quiet masterpiece from a modern great." (Robbie Millen and James Marriott The Times *The Best Books of 2019*)
"Tessa Hadley is one of your finest writers... [she] approaches her subjects with the sort of attention to detail that a Dutch Golden Age master might bring to a jug and a bowl of fruit... Hadley is the real deal." (The Times)
**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**
Alexandr and Christine and Zachary and Lydia have been close friends since they first met in their twenties. Thirty years later Alex and Christine are spending a leisurely summer evening at home when they receive a call from a distraught Lydia. Zach is dead.
In the wake of this profound loss, the three friends find themselves unmoored; all agree that Zach was the sanest and kindest of them all, the irreplaceable one they couldn’t afford to lose. Inconsolable, Lydia moves in with Alex and Christine. But instead of loss bringing them closer, the three of them find over the following months that it warps their relationships, as old entanglements and grievances rise from the past, and love and sorrow give way to anger and bitterness.
Late in the Day explores the tangled webs at the centre of our most intimate relationships, to expose how beneath the seemingly dependable arrangements we make for our lives lie infinite alternate configurations. Ingeniously moving between past and present and through the intricacies of her characters’ thoughts and interactions, Tessa Hadley once again shows that she has ‘become one of this country’s great contemporary novelists. She is equipped with an armoury of techniques and skills that may yet secure her a position as the greatest of them.’ (Anthony Quinn Guardian)
