Dear both,
Just to let you know the film adaptation of Graham Swift’s MOTHERING SUNDAY premiered in Cannes this month, to rave reviews, including this from the Sunday Times critic, who loved it and gave it five stars：

媒体评论：

Times “MOTHERING SUNDAY is, like everything Swift writes, quite unlike anything Swift has written before, and subtly teasing...[it] recommends itself as an antidote to the cloying sentimentalities of Downton. Downstairs was never happy.”

Publishers Weekly (starred review) “This elegiac tale offers a haunting portrait of lives in a world in transition…[Swift’s] depiction of a fragile caste clinging to traditions that define their sense of noblesse oblige while struggling to bear the era’s crushing burden of “accumulated loss and grief” is poignant and moving—as is his intimation of a brilliant personal destiny that rises from the ashes of a tragically bygone social order.”

Observer “MOTHERING SUNDAY is a powerful, philosophical and exquisitely observed novel about the lives we lead, and the parallel lives – the parallel stories – we can never know…It may just be Swift’s best novel yet.”

Sunday Times “A vanished world is resurrected with superb immediacy…Characters are perfectly caught but never flatly pinned down. Fidelity to life, Swift has stressed before, includes recognising that people and events have depths that can remain unknown or only partly glimpsed. MOTHERING SUNDAY makes fine use of this awareness. Wonderfully accomplished, it is an achievement as brilliant as its weather.”
