Online Reading Mothering Sunday: A Romance from Graham Swift

A luminous, intensely moving tale that begins with a secret lovers’ assignation in the spring of 1924, then unfolds to reveal the whole of a remarkable life. 
            
Twenty-two-year-old Jane Fairchild has worked as a maid at an English country house since she was sixteen. For almost all of those years she has been the clandestine lover to Paul Sheringham, young heir of a neighboring house. The two now meet on an unseasonably warm March day—Mothering Sunday—a day that will change Jane’s life forever. 
            
As the narrative moves back and forth from 1924 to the end of the century, what we know and understand about Jane—about the way she loves, thinks, feels, sees, remembers—expands with every vividly captured moment. Her story is one of profound self-discovery, and through her, Graham Swift has created an emotionally soaring, deeply affecting work of fiction.

Review :

“A demonstration of what this Booker winner can do.”
—Ron Charles, The Washington Post
 
 “Save some tissues for Graham Swift’s latest, an exquisite, emotionally resonant romance.”
—Entertainment Weekly

"Intense . . . the lush, sorroful prose gives considerable pleasure."
—Sophie Gee, The New York Times Book Review“Graham Swift’s slim, incantatory new book is one of those deceptively spare tales (like Julian Barnes’ The Sense of an Ending) that punch well above their weight. . . . More than just a story about crossing ‘impossible barriers’ like class and education it is a love song to books, and to finding words, language, and a voice. . . . It is a book you’ll want to read more than once—and then urge on your friends.”
—Heller McAlpin, NPR
“Swift accomplishes a great deal in such a tight narrative. . . . A sort of deeper Downton Abbey . . . It can be read in a sitting or two, and could make your day.”
—Robert Cremins, Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Mothering Sunday is a dazzling read: sexy, stylish, subversive. You finish it and immediately read it again.”
—Jackie McGlone, The Herald (Scotland)

“A kind of feminist Cinderella . . . haunting . . . possesses a new emotional intensity.”
—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
 
“In examining Jane’s fears and her joys, her dreams and her dreads, Swift captures—in all its complexity—what it means to love someone you know will hurt you. But Mothering Sunday is about more than that. It is about every unrealized future, about ‘all the scenes that never occur, but wait in the wings of possibility’ . . . a touching, profound and—above all—intimate portrayal of a relationship from the perspective of a woman whom it indelibly changed.”
—Drew Schwartz, Readers Digest
