Twelve Post-War Tales                  

by Graham Swift

Knopf/PRH


    Swift is an amazingly quiet writer - even when he's talking about war and the way it changes, hurts, destroys and toughens people.  These stories are not without humor and joy. And beautiful language.

    If you haven't read Swift's Mothering Sunday, please do. It's a short novel but a very powerful one.
