The Sweet Shop Owner by Graham Swift
Over the course of a single, sweltering day, an aging English sweet-shop proprietor looks back on his life—his tentative courtship and uneasy marriage, the quiet burdens of responsibility, and the widening rift with his daughter—piecing together how small compromises and silences hardened into estrangement, regret, and a fateful resolve.
