'A subtle book that lingers in the mind . . . Here is a writer of very considerable power' Daily Telegraph An academic sits alone in his college room thinking about the people he has lost. Powerful memories crowd in on him - childhood days in Paris; his exuberant, glamorous mother; his mysterious father; and the brash young American who becomes his step-father. Mingled with this emerges a tender portrait of his relationship with his actress wife. Ever After is a poignant elegy to lost faith and lost hope. It is also a powerful affirmation of love. 'Touching and beguiling . . . Graham Swift has written a deeply felt and rather haunting novel' Anita Brookner, Spectator 'Swift is set apart by his acute observation and thrilling exactness of description . . .

This novel is one of the most beautifully written novels
that I have ever read. Swift masterfully interweaves
the story of a modern man, recovering from his
wife's death, and a Victorian clergyman, attempting
to recover from his loss of religious ideals. The elegance of his writing is unmatched, and the novel is
perfect for any bibliophile.
