Wish You Were Here (Graham Swift novel)
''Wish You Were Here'' is a novel by English writer Graham Swift, first published in 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=THE BRITISH LIBRARY )〕
==Synopsis==
This is a novel about the changing face of rural England. It is narrated by the last of a long line of West Country farmers who now runs a caravan park on the Isle of Wight with his childhood sweetheart, the daughter of a neighbouring farmer. As Jack Luxton travels to collect the body of his brother, repatriated from the war in Iraq, and take it to the family burial plot in North Devon, he relates the history of the Luxton family and their traditional professions of farming and military service.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wish You Were Here, By Graham Swift )〕 Alongside this he tells the story of the near demise of dairy farming in England, through the twin catastrophes of BSE and foot and mouth disease. Added to this is the increasingly common and equally disastrous disease of wealthy city dwellers buying second homes in rural areas, thus disrupting traditional village life and making it too expensive for locals to stay in their natural communities.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/22/books/review/wish-you-were-here-by-graham-swift.html〕
