Mr Golightly’s Holiday

Mr Golightly takes a long-needed holiday in the village of Great Calne hoping to re-create the work of dramatic fiction he wrote many years before to international acclaim.

But events begin to take over his plans and he soon finds that the themes he has written on are being strangely replicated in the lives of his neighbours. As the drama unfolds we learn the true, and extraordinary, identity of Mr Golightly and the nature of the secret sorrow which haunts him and links him to his new friends.

Mysterious, light of touch, witty and profound Mr Golightly’s Holiday confirms Salley Vickers’s reputation as one of our most original and engaging novelists.
