"Graham Swift is one of our most eloquent and revered practitioners of fiction. . . TOMORROW is perhaps his most powerful, tightly rendered work yet. [] On a midsummer's night Paula Hook lies awake; Mike, her husband of twenty-five years, asleep beside her; her teenage twins, Nick and Kate, sleeping in nearby rooms. The next day, she knows, will redefine all of their lives. In the morning Paula and Mike will reveal a secret that they have been keeping for more than sixteen years. Reflecting on the life she has shared with her husband and family, Paula begins her--their--story. [] Brilliantly distilling half a century into one suspenseful night, as tender in its tone as it is deep in its soundings, TOMORROW is a magical exploration of the closest human bonds and a unique meditation on the mystery of happiness."--Sonny Mehta. "Rich and intimately alive, tenderly comic and quietly shattering, HERE WE ARE is a masterly work of literary magicianship that pulls back the curtain on the human condition. [] It is Brighton, England, 1959, and the theatre at the end of the famous pier is having its best summer in years. Ronnie, a brilliant young magician, and Evie, his dazzling assistant are top of the bill drawing full houses every night. And Jack is everyone's favorite master of ceremonies, holding the whole thing together. [] But as the summer progresses, the offstage drama among the three begins to overshadow their success on stage and events will unfold that will have lasting consequences." [publisher copy] "A jewel of a novel . . . Saturated with images and metaphors that recur like melodies . . . Swift's brief, magical tale demonstrates one more brilliant example of his talent for pulling universal themes out of the hats of ordinary lives."--Publishers Weekly. Pristine paperback ARCs w/sharp corners & crisp edges, square & tight bindings w/no creases in spines & no jackets as issued. Artikel-Nr. RUB3176
