FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LAST ORDERS AND MOTHERING SUNDAY,
reissued for the first time in Scribner For forty years, Willy
Chapman has struck a strange but steadfast bargain between the two
poles of his life: his beautiful but emotionally damaged wife and
the sweet shop he runs on a south London high street. Devoted to
each, he has maintained a delicate, precarious balance. Now, on a
hot summer's day, he attempts to settle his final accounts and
reach an understanding with a third, disruptive element in his
reckoning: his angry, unforgiving daughter. Spanning five decades
and intricately exploring a doomed family triangle, Graham Swift's
first novel already shows the historical scope combined with
intense intimacy that will characterise his work. 'A marvellous
first novel' New Statesman 'Brilliantly chronicled' The Spectator
