Jan 1, 2016 · Mothering Sunday is aimlessly meandering through one day - 30th of March, 1924 - in the life of the twenty-two-year-old Jane Fairchild, who's a maid. She's been having a seven-year amorous relationship with Paul Sheringham, an upper-class young man, who's soon to marry for convenience.
As the narrative moves back and forth across the twentieth century, what we know and understand about Jane—about the way she loves, thinks, feels, sees, and remembers—expands with every page. In Mothering Sunday, Swift has crafted an emotionally soaring and profoundly moving work of fiction.
