Tomorrow

by Graham Swift

Booker Prize-winner Graham Swift returns to Picador with a masterful and compassionate novel about the mystery of happiness
On a midsummer’s night, Paula lies awake, Mike, her husband of twenty-five years, asleep beside her, her two teenage children, Nick and Kate, sleeping in nearby rooms. The next day, she knows, will define all their lives.
As morning approaches, Paula recalls the years before and after her children were born. Her story is both a celebration of love possessed and a moving acknowledgement of the fear of loss, the fragilities, illusions and secrets on which even our most intimate sense of who we are can rest.

Deceptively simple, yet profound and multi-faced "one night novel".

A thorough powerful presentation of man/woman relations masterfully merging three time-layers past, present and future.
