Our Evenings

Gems of observation and insight on every page * The Telegraph * Our Evenings is a truly astonishing novel, by turns delicate and ferocious, radical in the way it explores questions of race, class, sexuality and origins in a genteel English Home Counties setting. It is the story of a country undergoing great change, even if its people aren’t aware of it—the novel moves through time so beautifully that I felt such a sense of loss at the end -- Tash Aw A standing ovation for Our Evenings! -- Richard E. Grant, actor and star of <i> Withnail and I</i> and <i>Saltburn</i> Our Evenings is marked by a sharp eye, a tender sensibility, and an unflagging wit. I never wanted it to end. -- Emma Donoghue A deeply moving novel, sensitive and hilarious in equal measure. A marvel I would recommend to anyone -- Paterson Joseph, actor and star of <i> Peep Show</i> and <i><i>Noughts and Crosses</i></i> This sublime novel – classic Hollinghurst in everything but point of view – could not be timelier -- Mendez, author of <i> Rainbow Milk </i> Hollinghurst proves once more to be a master of emotive prose. It’s a tour de force * Publishers Weekly * Luxuriously immersive, subtle and elegiac, [Our Evenings] traces the arc of a life to paint a picture of modern Britain and is shot through with love, longing and delicious comedy * The Bookseller *
