'Tomorrow' - Graham Swift

Not sure when I first read this, but this second read an impressive, immersive, total delight. Told by a mother lying awake in bed, beside her sleeping husband, contemplating the information they have decided now is the time to pass to their twins, just past their sixteenth birthday. Much of the basic facts are guessable, but it is the intricacies and warmth of relationships, the diversions and the myriad possibilities of the consequences that adds quality and kept me reading. Truly a masterclass of novel writing.
