Tessa Hadley - The Past
Highly acclaimed British author Tessa Hadley talks to Harriett Gilbert about her award-winning novel - The Past.
Recorded at the FT Weekend Oxford Literary Festival in the elegant surroundings of The Mathematical Institute, part of the university.
Tessa skilfully evokes a brewing storm of lust and envy, the indelible connections of memory and affection, the fierce, nostalgic beauty of the natural world, and the shifting currents of history running beneath the surface of these seemingly steady lives.
Over three long, hot summer weeks, four siblings and their children assemble at their country house for a family reunion, where simmering tensions and secrets come to a head.
First broadcast on the BBC World Service in April 2019.
