The Party

Tessa Hadley
7.30pm
Tuesday 7 April 2026
St Mary’s Barnes

Tessa Hadley, the award-winning author, will be talking to Harriett Gilbert,  the BBC broadcaster whose support of BLS is invaluable to us. They will be talking about Tessa’s latest coming-of-age novella about two girls who get thrust into a new phase of their lives following a night which changed everything. In this exquisite work, Tessa asks, and answers, timeless questions about the power of desire – whether for another person, another version of yourself, or life itself.
