Time Out Novel of the Year
`Astonishingly moving’ Sunday Express
On an autumn day in 2006, on the Isle of Wight, Jack Luxton – former Devon farmer, now proprietor of a seaside caravan park – receives the news that his brother Tom, not seen for years, has been killed in Iraq.
For Jack and his wife Ellie this will have a potentially catastrophic impact and compel Jack to make a crucial journey: to receive his brother’s remains, but also to return to the land of his past and confront his most secret, troubling memories.
Building to a fiercely suspenseful climax, Wish You Were Here is a hauntingly compassionate story that allows us to feel the stuff of headlines as heart-wrenching personal truth.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Gebogener Buchrücken. A triumphant return to form from the Booker Prize-winner. On an autumn day in 2006, on the Isle of Wight, Jack Luxton, former Devon farmer and now the proprietor of a seaside caravan park, receives the news that his soldier brother Tom, not seen for years, has been killed in Iraq. For Jack and his wife Ellie this will have a potentially catastrophic impact. For Jack in particular it means a crucial journey-to receive his brother's remains, but also into his own most secret, troubling memories and into the land of his and Ellie's past. Wish You Were Here is both a gripping account of things that touch and test our human core and a resonant novel about a changing England. Rich with a sense of the intimate and the local, it is also, inescapably, about a wider, afflicted world. Moving towards an almost unbearably tense climax, it allows us to feel the stuff of headlines - the return of a dead soldier from a foreign war - as heart-wrenching personal truth.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : En 'Wish You Were Here', Graham Swift nos presenta a Jack Luxton, un ex-granjero de Devon que ahora dirige un parque de caravanas junto al mar en la Isla de Wight. Un día de otoño de 2006, Jack recibe la devastadora noticia de que su hermano Tom, un soldado al que no ha visto en años, ha fallecido en Irak. Este suceso desencadena un viaje crucial para Jack, no solo para recibir los restos de su hermano, sino también para adentrarse en sus recuerdos más secretos y problemáticos, así como en la historia compartida con su esposa Ellie. La novela explora temas profundos como la pérdida, la memoria y el impacto de la guerra en las vidas personales, todo ello en el contexto de una Inglaterra en constante cambio. Con una narrativa íntima y local, Swift nos invita a reflexionar sobre las verdades personales que se esconden detrás de los titulares.
