Description:
The extraordinary new novel from the winner of the Booker Prize in 1996 for Last Orders
It is Brighton, 1959, and the theatre at the end of the pier is having its best summer season in years. Ronnie, a brilliant young magician, and Evie, his dazzling assistant, are top of the bill, drawing audiences each night. Meanwhile, Jack – Jack Robinson, as in before you can say – is everyones favourite compère, a born entertainer, holding the whole show together.
As the summer progresses, the off-stage drama between the three begins to overshadow their theatrical success, and events unfold which will have lasting consequences for all their futures.
Praise for Mothering Sunday:
'Bathed in light; and even when tragedy strikes, it blazes irresistibly Swifts small fiction feels like a masterpiece Guardian
Alive with sensuousness and sensuality wonderfully accomplished, it is an achievement Sunday Times
From start to finish Swifts is a novel of stylish brilliance and quiet narrative verve. The archly modulated, precise prose (a hybrid of Henry Green and Kazuo Ishiguro) is a glory to read.
Swift is a writer at the very top of his game Evening Standard
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 Swifts best novel yet Observer
