Patrick Gale | Love Lane

Sat 21 Nov 2026 | 8:00pm – 9:00pm

Beloved, bestselling author of Costa-shortlisted novel A Place Called Winter, Patrick Gale returns to Cambridge with his brilliant new novel Love Lane. 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 be. When writers Sarah Waters, Rachel Joyce and Clare Chambers, amongst many others, are all heaping praise on this book, you know you're in for a treat.
