Ever After - Softcover
Dazzling in its structure and shattering in its emotional force, Graham Swift's Ever After spans two centuries and settings from the adulterous bedrooms of postwar Paris to the contemporary entanglements in the groves of academe. It is the story of Bill Unwin, a man haunted by the death of his beautify wife and a survivor himself of a recent brush with mortality. And although it touches on Darwin and dinosaurs, bees and bridge builders, the true subject of Ever After is nothing less than the eternal question, "Why should things matter?"
"Ever After is explicitly concerned with historical investigation, love, death, family affairs.... It moves quickly, and it vibrates with feeling and thought."--Wall Street Journal

It moves quickly, and it vibrates with feeling and thought."--Wall Street Journal The dazzling new novel by the author of Waterland approaches the riddle of life from the agonized perspective of Bill Unwin, a middle-aged orphan, premature widower, and failed suicide suddenly obsessed by the diaries of his Victorian ancestor, a man whose fall from happiness eerily parallels his own. "He writes like a Henry James reborn after the sexual revolution".--New York Times Book Review. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
