Description
LONGLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE
From the Booker-winning author of Last Orders and Waterland comes a long-awaited new novel.
It is March 30th 1924. It is Mothering Sunday.
How will Jane Fairchild, orphan and housemaid, occupy her time when she has no mother to visit? How, shaped by the events of this never to be forgotten day, will her future unfold?
Beginning with an intimate assignation and opening to embrace decades, Mothering Sunday has at its heart both the story of a life and the life that stories can magically contain. Constantly surprising, joyously sensual and deeply moving, it is Graham Swift at his thrilling best.
Commentaires
‘Mothering Sunday is a powerful, philosophical and exquisitely observed novel about the lives we lead, and the parallel lives – the parallel stories – we can never know… It may just be Swift’s best novel yet.’ The Observer
‘Mastery and resonance... It’s one of the novel’s great strengths to be able to shift with such agility between focus scene and lifetime recollection...the languid, blissful minutes of March 30, 1924 seem to contain all the succeeding decades.’ Times Literary Supplement
'Exquisite...Mothering Sunday shows love, lust and ordinary decency straining against the bars of an unjust English caste system.' Kazuo Ishiguro
