More about the book
Dazzling in its structure and shattering in its emotional force, Graham Swift's <b>Ever After</b> spans two centuries and settings from the adulterous bedrooms of postwar Paris to the contemporary entanglements in the groves of academe. It is the story of Bill Unwin, a man haunted by the death of his beautiful wife and a survivor himself of a recent brush with mortality. And although it touches on Darwin and dinosaurs, bees and bridge builders, the true subject of <b>Ever After</b> is nothing less than the eternal question, "Why should things matter?" "<b>Ever After</b> is explicitly concerned with historical investigation, love, death, family affairs.... It moves quickly, and it vibrates with feeling and thought."--<i>Wall Street Journal</i>
