Description

From the Booker Award winner: a luminous, intensely moving story that begins with an assignation in 1924 between a servant girl, Jane, and Paul, the young man of the neighboring house, then opens to reveal the whole life of a remarkable woman.
 
Jane and Paul have been secret lovers for years.  Now, on an unseasonably warm March day—Mothering Sunday—they make love, as Jane imagines, for the last time, since Paul is about to be married. In ways she cannot imagine, it is day that will alter her life for ever.

Her story is one of profound self-discovery and through her, Graham Swift has created an emotionally soaring and deeply affecting work of fiction.
