Ever after - Graham Swift

'Once in a precious while you read a novel which, every few chapters, makes you shiver with self-recognition. Ever After is such a novel. Graham Swift works such subtle magic upon the emotions that you will keep exclaiming: ''Yes, wonderful, those are my thoughts exactly''...' Daily Mail

'Graham Swift has performed a tour de force in this novel. With deceptively unobtrusive persistence, through the weaving together of disparate lives, he has managed to revive the unanswerable questions we have been taught to ignore on pain of being accused of immaturity or navety, but which nonetheless haunt the backs of our minds and inform the lives of our hearts' Literary Review

'Swift really does believe that ''no breadth of intellect exonerates want of feeling''. Ever After is a supremely intelligent novel about the need to transcend intelligence' Time
