Ronnie, a brilliant young magician, and Evie, his dazzling assistant, are top of the bill, drawing audiences each night. Meanwhile, Jack - Jack Robinson, as in ̀before you can say' - is everyone's favourite compere, a born entertainer, holding the whole show together. As the summer progresses, the off-stage drama between the three begins to overshadow their theatrical success, and events unfold which will have lasting consequences for all their futures. Rich, comic, alive and subtly devastating, Here We Are is a masterly piece of literary magicianship which pulls back the curtain on the human condition. Praise for Mothering Sunday: 'Bathed in light; and even when tragedy strikes, it blazes irresistibly... Swift's small fiction feels like a masterpiece' Guardian ̀Alive with sensuousness and sensuality ... wonderfully accomplished, it is an achievement' Sunday Times ̀From start to finish Swift's is a novel of stylish brilliance and quiet narrative verve. The archly modulated, precise prose (a hybrid of Henry Green and Kazuo Ishiguro) is a glory to read. Now 66, Swift is a writer at the very top of his game' Evening Standard ̀Mothering Sunday is a powerful, philosophical and exquisitely observed novel about the lives we lead, and the parallel lives - the parallel stories - we can never know ... It may just be Swift's best novel yet' Observer 648 7 1950-talet|2sao 650 0 Magicians 650 0 Theaters 650 0 Theater architecture 650 7 Illusionister|2sao 650 7 Teatrar|2sao 651 7 Storbritannien|zBrighton|2sao 655 7 Romaner|2saogf 655 7 Historiska skildringar|2saogf 900 10 |6100|aSvift, Grem,|d1949-|uSwift, Graham,|d1949-
