FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LAST ORDERS & MOTHERING SUNDAY, & reissued for the first time in Scribner, comes a novel called ` Profound & powerful... an unputdownable read` by Scotland on Sunday. On an autumn day in 2006, on the Isle of Wight, Jack Luxton
- former Devon farmer, now proprietor of a seaside caravan park
- receives the news that his brother Tom, not seen for years, has been killed in Iraq. For Jack & his wife Ellie this will have a potentially catastrophic impact & compel Jack to make a crucial journey: to receive his brother`s remains, but also to return to the land of his past & confront his most secret, troubling memories. Praise for Mothering Sunday: ` Bathed in light; & even when tragedy strikes, it blazes irresistibly... Swift`s small fiction feels like a masterpiece` Guardian ` Alive with sensuousness & sensuality.. . wonderfully accomplished, it is an achievement` Sunday Times ` From start to finish Swift`s is a novel of stylish brilliance & quiet narrative verve. The archly modulated, precise prose (a hybrid of Henry Green & Kazuo Ishiguro) is a glory to read. Now 66, Swift is a writer at the very top of his game` Evening Standard ` Mothering Sunday is a powerful, philosophical & exquisitely observed novel about the lives we lead, & the parallel lives
- the parallel stories
- we can never know.. . It may just be Swift`s best novel yet` Observer

They were outcasts, the forgotten boys of Trinidad & Tobago imprisoned for violent crimes including armed robbery & murder. They had nothing left but a wish for a better life, the feeling that they would need an education to achieve their goals, & a desperate desire to find an English teacher. In 2010 Debbie Jacob entered the gates of the Youth Training Centre (YTC), the remand centre for boys in the Caribbean island of Trinidad
- it would be a move that would change her life & the lives of her young charges forever. Based on a true story, Wishing for Wings recounts Debbie`s challenging journey of preparing seven young men for the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) English Language exam. Heartbreaking but also encouraging, Debbie`s story & those of her students, offer an unprecedented look into the lives of troubled teens & boys in prison. The realities of the education & justice systems are brought into sharp focus as are issues such as teaching (formal) English in a Creole speaking environment. It is a story of challenge & triumph; of rebellion & redemption; of loss & of learning, but most of all it is about the Power of Love. Debbie Jacob took a chance with her students, & they took a chance with her. In the end, both teacher & students would discover just how much they had come to need each other. Impossible to put down, Wishing for Wings captures both the fear & the pleasure of one teacher in unchartered territory; & the hope & trust sustaining her students. The story of their journey together will make you cry & make you smile, but most of all, it will remind you of the enduring power of faith & love.
