Mothering Sunday
of Graham Swift
Description
A luminous, intensely moving tale that begins with a secret lovers' assignation in the spring of 1924, then unfolds to reveal the whole of a remarkable life.Twenty-two-year-old Jane Fairchild has worked as a maid at an English country house since she was sixteen. For almost all of those years she has been the clandestine lover to Paul Sheringham, young heir of a neighboring house. The two now meet on an unseasonably warm March dayâMothering Sundayâa day that will change Jane's life forever. As the narrative moves back and forth from 1924 to the end of the century, what we know and understand about Janeâabout the way she loves, thinks, feels, sees, remembersâexpands with every vividly captured moment. Her story is one of profound self-discovery, and through her, Graham Swift has created an emotionally soaring, deeply affecting work of fiction.
