Patrick Gale

Patrick Gale is a superb writer who has a growing following and manages to straddle literary fiction with commercial appeal. Author of Richard & Judy-bestseller, Notes from An Exhibition, as well as The Whole Day Through and Gentlemen’s Relish, he returns to his beloved Cornish coastline in his new novel. He lays bare the lives and the thoughts of a whole community and asks us: what does it mean to be good? Patrick Gale was born on the Isle of Wight and spent his infancy at Wandsworth Prison, which his father governed. He is an excellent speaker.

‘His sense of place is utterly coherent and he makes the background easy to navigate … The writing itself is so unpretentious, and Gale brings such patience and generosity to the story, that one cannot help but respond to his uplifting faith in human nature.' New Statesman
