National Bestseller The lives of two close-knit couples are irrevocably changed by an untimely death in this “immersive tale” (People) from acclaimed novelist and short story master Tessa Hadley. “Brilliant.... In the hands of a lesser novelist, the intricate tangle of lives at the center of Late in the Day would feel like just such a self-satisfied riddle or, at best, like sly narrative machinations. Because this is Tessa Hadley, it instead feels earned and real and, even in its smallest nuances, important.... We’ve seen this before, and we’ve never seen this before, and it’s spectacular.”—Rebecca Makkai, New York Times Book Review
