Reviews
"Setting the seemingly ordinary lives of his characters against the great, tumultuous moments of history--from the Second World War to the Cuban Missile Crisis, September 11th and the Covid pandemic--the Booker Prize winner traces a tender and moving web of connections across decades." -- Financial Times (Most Anticipated Books of 2025) "Perceptive. . . . Finely tuned." -- Publishers Weekly "Affecting. . . . In stark, immediate prose, deployed with utmost patience, Swift holds us close and points to powerful truths." --Brendan Driscoll, Booklist

Synopsis
An exquisite new collection of stories from the Booker Prize-winning author, about lives shaped and haunted by war Here are the soldiers and doctors and veterans, wives and lovers and children, who have been affected in ways both subtle and profound by the cataclysms of our times. In the aftermath of World War II, a young Jewish private, stationed in Germany, seeks the truth about lost family members. In the 1960s, a father focuses on his daughter's wedding even as the Cuban Missile Crisis approaches the brink of global disaster. On September 11th, a maid working for U.S. Embassy staff in London wonders if her birth on the day of the Kennedy assassination determined the course of her life. And at the height of pandemic lockdown, a respiratory disease specialist comes out of retirement and is faced with a formative childhood memory. These stories show history in the making, the reverberations of each personal loss and triumph set across the sweep of decades. Tender, humane, rich with humor, grief and moments of grace and contemplation, Twelve Post-War Tales is a collection of masterpieces in miniature.

    Arrived quickly in a 2-layer corrugated book mailer, and in like-new condition. I relied on the seller's description, since the photo was a generic image, and was not disappointed. Great transaction.
