Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur Jack Dodds has died, and his three close friends travel together to pay their last respects and take his ashes to Margate Pier and scatter them into the sea, Jack's final wish. As the journey develops via Rochester, Chatham and Canterbury, the characters tell their different life stories. Biographie de l'auteur Graham Swift was born in 1949 and is the author of many acclaimed novels, two collections of short stories ( England and Other Stories, and Learning to Swim and Other Stories) and Making an Elephant, a book of essays, portraits, poetry and reflections on his life in writing. With Waterland he won the Guardian Fiction Prize (1983), and with Last Orders the Booker Prize (1996). Both novels have since been made into films. Graham Swift's work has appeared in over thirty languages.
