Tomorrow - Tapa blanda

Praise for "The Light of Day": "The story draws the reader on like the best whodunit-or, whydunnit. Yet it is also a profoundly artful, beautifully weighted, resonant and humane literary novel." --"Telegraph" (UK) "Leave it to one of the great modern storytellers to pen a mystery where the crime is the least important element . . . Swift fashions the detective archetype into a workshop for a discussion of human identity." --"Winnipeg Free Press" "[Swift] is a wonderfully original writer and his new work lives up to his reputation as one of England's finest living novelists . . . an intriguing, even mystifying story of the power of passion, murder and redemption." --"Toronto Sun" Praise for "Last Orders": "Graham Swift is a purely wonderful writer, and Last Orders, full of gravity and affection and stylistic brilliance, proves it precisely." --Richard Ford "Book for book, Swift is surely one of England's finest living novelists." --"New York Review of Books" "From the Hardcover edition."

On a midsummer's night, Paula lies awake, Mike, her husband of twenty-five years, asleep beside her, her two teenage children, Nick and Kate, sleeping in nearby rooms. The next day, she knows, will define all their lives. As morning approaches, Paula recalls the years before and after her children were born. Her story is both a celebration of love possessed and a moving acknowledgement of the fear of loss, the fragilities, illusions and secrets on which even our most intimate sense of who we are can rest. `A triumph . . . This is Graham Swift at his impressive best' Times Literary Supplement `Paula talks the way that people actually talk . . . this is part of Swift's overwhelming honesty as a writer: he writes the way that life goes' Anne Enright, Guardian `The rhythms of long-term partnership become the rhymes of the narrative itself . . . a subtle picture emerges of how coupledom is deepened by parenthood' Robert MacFarlane, Sunday Times `As assured and subtle as ever . . . Swift artfully reminds us that no set of relationships is ever free from complication and concealment' Spectator `Paula's anguish is beautifully captured, as is her tenderness towards her loved ones' Mail on Sunday
