The engaging novel starts in Brighton, England, in August 1959, at the end of the famous pier, a “flimsy structure over swimming water.” Despite what might be read as an appropriate metaphor for the life of 28-year-old Jack Robinson, there is nothing flimsy about the storyline that begins with his history. What do you get? A lot of smoke and mirrors and supple narrative prestidigitation from Booker Prize-winner Graham Swift in the form of the bittersweet Here We Are.
