Consistently pulls you in from the first sentence… The capacity to make readers care from the off about what happens to these imaginary people next is an unquantifiable, indefinable talent that cannot be taught. You've got it or you haven't. Hadley's got it
Other text

One of our finest novelists and a short story supremo… It is hard to imagine stories more skilfully paced and polished than these
