"Exquisite ... shows love, lust, and ordinary decency struggling against
the bars of an unjust English caste system." --Kazuo Ishiguro, *The
Guardian
*
On an unseasonably warm spring day in the 1920s, twenty-two-year-old
Jane Fairchild, a maid at an English country house, meets with her
secret lover, the young heir of a neighboring estate. He is about to be
married to a woman more befitting his social status, and the time has
come to end the affair--but events unfold in ways Jane could never have
predicted.
As the narrative moves back and forth across the twentieth century, what
we know and understand about Jane--about the way she loves, thinks,
feels, sees, and remembers--expands with every page. In Mothering
Sunday, Swift has crafted an emotionally soaring and profoundly moving
work of fiction.
