Description
From the best-selling author of Last Orders and Mothering Sunday, reissued for the first time in Scribner.
In 1972, Robert Beech, First World War veteran and prominent figure in the arms industry, is killed by a car bomb. The event cuts short the career of his son Harry, a news photographer, and comes close to destroying his granddaughter Sophie. Ten years later, Harry, now working in aerial photography, and Sophie, visiting an analyst in New York, remain scarred and divided by the event. Around their broken relationship and Harry’s memories of his truncated career and his father, the novel builds a story that is acutely private, yet sweepingly public, at the heart of which lies Harry’s lifelong dedication to the camera.
Out of This World spans many of the 20th century’s scenes of conflict, but also contains some of Graham Swift’s most achingly intimate scenes of personal confrontation - scenes that, powerful and haunting as photographs can be, no photographs can capture.
