Here We Are
Swift, Graham
t is Brighton, 1959, and the theatre at the end of the pier is having
its best summer season in years. 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. ’One to watch for 2020’ according to:The Sunday
Times The TimesThe Daily Telegraph The Guardian Financial Times Evening
Standard The Scotsman The Irish Times ’He tells simple, truthful
stories about what feel like real people.
Here We Are is a
welcome addition to a proud legacy.’ The Big Issue The variety of voices
and its historical and emotional reach are so finely entwined, it is as
perfect and smooth as an egg. Passages leap out all the time, demanding
to be reread, or committed to memory... It is perhaps too simple to say
that Swift creates a form of fictional magic, but what he can do with a
page is out of the ordinary, far beyond most mortals’ ken.’ Rosemary
Goring,The Herald’Here We Are is a subtle portrait of a vanished world,
with moving passages about the problems of wartime evacuees returning to
impoverished London life after the wonders of the countryside.’ The
Independent ’In Here We Are, Swift does not just dwell on the pivotal
moments of our lives, but traces their shockwaves both forward and back.
Moving seamlessly from pre-war to post, from the events of one
illusory, youthful summer to the present, we are given candid access to
the innermost reflections of three people who loved and betrayed each
other. The end result is the stuff of life, an enduring mystery that
Ronnie, Evie, Jack - that we all - must live with. I thought it was
wonderful.’ Joseph Knox, author of Sirens’As with all his books, it’s
the moments of quiet, undramatic poignancy that stay with you’ Sunday
Express’a quietly, devastating, magical novel’ Telegraph’With a wizardry
of his own, Swift conjures up an about-to-disappear little world and
turns it into something of wider resonance’ Sunday TimesPraise 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.
