Devoted to each, he has maintained a delicate, precarious balance. Now, on a hot summer’s day, he attempts to settle his final accounts and reach an understanding with a third, disruptive element in his reckoning: his angry, unforgiving daughter.\n Spanning five decades and intricately exploring a doomed family triangle, Graham Swift’s first novel already shows the historical scope combined with intense intimacy that will characterise his work.\n‘A marvellous first novel’ New Statesman\n‘Brilliantly chronicled’ The Spectator","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51495376978208,"sku":"9781471187353","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781471187353.jpg?v=1780851029","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-sweet-shop-owner-graham-swift-9781471187353","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
