A review by mizpurplest
Mothering Sunday by Graham Swift

4.0

I (obviously) flew through this book, and not just because it is small and relatively short. I loved the way the story was written, flowing smoothly but hopping back and forth in time to tell so much more than just plot. I really loved that although there was a plot, it wasn't the driving force of the story. Jane's personal development, although told non-sequentially, and her reactions to the various environments, were much more important than what actually took place, and the other brief characters were written in a way to give them suggested depth even when their page time was severely limited.
