In THE HORSEMAN, prize-winning historical author of In the Place of Fallen Leaves, Tim Pears has created a Hardyesque pastoral novel set in Devon, 1911, about an unlikely friendship between two children, Leo Sercombe, a carter’s son, and Lottie Prideaux, daughter of the Master of the estate.

Hallucinatory, beautiful and suffused with the magic of nature, it is the first in a dazzling new trilogy.
Join Bloomsbury for a night with Tim Pears as he's in conversation with The Guardian's Alex Clark, on writing historical fiction, researching Edwardian life during WW1 and young love.

Ticket price includes a free glass of wine (or two!) before the talk. We hope to see you there!

Praise for Tim Pears and THE HORSEMAN:
“The pleasure of it lies in taking in the language and the setting - the West country, in 1911 and 1912 - and in reading it like a long poem, with each chapter a stanza ... The natural world is sometimes antagonistic, sometimes beautiful, but always alive with detail” – Jane Smiley, Guardian
