An academic sits alone in his college room thinking about the people he has lost. Powerful memories crowd in on him — childhood days in Paris; his exuberant, glamorous mother; his mysterious father; and the brash young American who becomes his step-father. Mingled with this emerges a tender portrait of his relationship with his actress wife. Ever After is a poignant elegy to lost faith and lost hope. It is also a powerful affirmation of love. 'Once in a precious while you read a novel which, every few chapters, makes you shiver with self-recognition. Ever After is such a novel' — Daily Mail. 'Swift is set apart by his acute observation and thrilling exactness of description... Exceptional' — The Times.
