Krátky popis
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 everyone's favourite compere, 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. Rich, comic, alive
and subtly devastating, Here We Are is a masterly piece of literary
magicianship which pulls back the curtain on the human condition.
'He tells simple, truthful stories about what feel like real
people.Here We Are is a welcome addition to a proud legacy.' The
Big Issue 'In Here We Are, Swift does not just dwell on the pivotal
moments of our lives, but traces their shockwaves both forward and
back. Moving seamlessly from pre-war to post, from the events of
one illusory, youthful summer to the present, we are given candid
access to the innermost reflections of three people who loved and
betrayed each other. The end result is the stuff of life, an
enduring mystery that Ronnie, Evie, Jack - that we all - must live
with.I thought it was wonderful.' Joseph Knox, author of
SirensPraise for Mothering Sunday: 'Bathed in light, and even when
tragedy strikes, it blazes irresistibly... Swift's small fiction
feels like a masterpiece' Guardian 'Alive with sensuousness and
sensuality ... wonderfully accomplished, it is an achievement'
Sunday Times 'From start to finish Swift's 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. Now 66, 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 Swift's best novel yet' Observer
