A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

It is March 30th 1924.

It is Mothering Sunday. How will Jane Fairchild, orphan and housemaid, occupy her time when she has no mother to visit? How, shaped by the events of this never to be forgotten day, will her future unfold?

Beginning with an intimate assignation and opening to embrace decades, Mothering Sundayhas at its heart both the story of a life and the life that stories can magically contain.

Constantly surprising, joyously sensual and deeply moving, it is Graham Swift at his thrilling best.
