Graham Swift is one of the most representative writers of modern English literature. His works are well known for their lyrical yet philosophical style, deeply exploring the inner world of human beings and their complex relationships.
Mothering Sunday (2016), along with Waterland (1983) and Last Orders (1996), is one of the author's representative works. Set in 1920s England immediately following World War I, it deals with love, loss, and a journey of finding one's own self.

This work captures remarkable emotional depth within a concise narrative, transcending the simple love story of a bygone era to delicately illuminate the essence of human nature and social oppression.
Jane's experiences that day give her the opportunity to deeply explore her life, future, and identity, and when she leaves Paul's house, she is filled with a determination and insight into a new self, no longer as Jane the maid.
That day's 'Mothering Sunday' became a 'turning point' in life that could never be experienced again, beyond memories, and became an opportunity for me to take a leap forward as a writer.
Through this work, Graham Swift delicately and elaborately explores the universal themes of freedom and self-discovery, making us think deeply about the meaning of life and art.
Although the novel's writing style is simple and restrained, the resonance and accomplishment it contains penetrate deep into the reader's heart, leaving a lasting and unforgettable impression.

Mothering Sunday is Graham Swift's third novel to be adapted into a film, and has become a hot topic thanks to its cast of leading British actors including Colin Firth, Olivia Cole, and Josh O'Connor.
It was introduced at the 2021 Cannes International Film Festival and was introduced to audiences around the world through Sony Pictures, a major Hollywood studio.
