Ever After

Dazzling in its structure and shattering in its emotional force, Graham Swift's Ever After 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 beautify 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 Ever After is nothing less than the eternal question, "Why should things matter?"

Orbitor in structura sa si zdrobitor in forta sa emotionala, Ever After al lui Graham Swift se intinde pe doua secole si decoruri de la dormitoarele adulterice ale Parisului de dupa razboi pana la incurcaturile contemporane din paduricile academiei. Este povestea lui Bill Unwin, un barbat bantuit de moartea sotiei sale infrumusetate si un supravietuitor al unei recente pericole de mortalitate.
