Patrick Gale WORLD PREMIERE – Literary Salon – June 2018

Join us for the WORLD PREMIERE of Take Nothing With You, the new novel from Patrick Gale.
We’re delighted he’s back to unveil his sixteenth novel at the Salon! Comedy and tragedy collide as fifty-something Eustace, a Londoner of leisure, falls hopelessly in love with a man he’s yet to meet in the flesh and discovers that he has cancer. In the same week.
While receiving treatment, Eustace listens endlessly to cello music which takes him back to his eccentric 1970s boyhood when his life was transfigured, and his family shattered, by the decision to attend a recital by the glamorous cellist, Carla Gold.
