The remarkable new work of fiction from the Booker Prize-winning author of Last Orders, Waterland and Mothering Sunday'His archly modulated, precise prose, reminiscent at times of his friend Kazuo Ishiguros, has lost none of its power ... immensely readable late-career Swift from start to finish, Twelve Post-War Tales is a marvel of the storyteller's art.' Financial TimesThere can surely be no better contemporary writer to take on historys circularities that Graham Swift. Growing up in the 1950s there was all the evidence of war. Swift has said. This beautiful cluster of stories shows how vital it remains in recollection. Observer'Skilful, generous and humane, these 12 tales suggest the complexity and heartbreak of being engaged on such an uncertain journey.' GuardianThe characters in this collection share their thoughts and memories with the reader as though with a close friend, and the warmth of their confidences balances against their sadness. We feel weve been in the trenches with them, even when a story has gone no farther than the living room. Wall Street Journal
