Synopsis
In 1972 Robert Beech, First World War survivor and present-day armaments maker, is killed by a car bomb. The event breaks the career of his son Harry, a news photographer, and comes close to destroying his granddaughter Sophie. Ten years later, the Falklands War has begun and both Harry, now working as an aerial photographer, and Sophie, visiting an analyst in New York, are haunted by a past that has scarred and divided them. 'It appeals to the emotions, the intellect and the imagination, and its elegance is as durable as Greek art ...a novel fro those who still believe in the importance of fiction, indeed of art' - "Scotsman".

Présentation de l'éditeur
"A disturbing and memorable novel, in which public happenings and private thoughts and relationships are relentlessly intertwined -- the best kind of novel."- The Globe and Mail
"Not a book the reader is likely to forget, Out of This World--deserves to be ranked at the forefront of contemporary fiction." - The New York Times Book Review
"In unravelling the unhappy lives of members of the Beech family, the grandfather a war hero, the son a celebrated photo-journalist, the granddaughter estranged and undergoing analysis, the plot embraces the history of this century's warfare and the attempts of individuals to escape the legacy of their past.... A moving and painful saga." - Sunday Times (U.K.)
"Serious and interesting... Out of This World is asking Swift's characteristically painful, intelligent, difficult questions about the world." - The Observer (U.K.)
"Graham Swift is a writer of extraordinary power." - San Francisco Chronicle
"Powerful and exciting...intense as a thriller." - The London Times
Présentation de l'éditeur
Out of This World interweaves the history of a blighted family with the tragic and ludicrous history of the twentieth century. Its alternating narrators are a father and daughter--each obsessed with the other and irrevocably estranged--surveying their losses and grievances on opposite sides of the Atlantic.
"A moving, ingenious and often very funny tale that takes us deep into his characters' wounded, resilient hearts with breathtaking virtuosity...rich, complicated, joyful, arresting."--USA Today
