A masterly work from one of our greatest writers, told for the first time in the third, rather than the first person. It's a true departure in many ways and is already becoming widely acclaimed as one of his finest novels yet. Wish You Were Here is both a gripping account of things that touch and test our human core and a resonant novel about a changing England. Rich with a sense of the intimate and the local, it is also, inescapably, about a wider, afflicted world. Moving towards an almost unbearably tense climax, it allows us to feel the stuff of headlines - the return of a dead soldier from a foreign war - as heart-wrenching personal truth.
