Beschreibung

<p>'Full of the humour and eccentricity that have made Gardam one of the most enjoyable novelists writing today'<br><i>Independent on Sunday</i></p><p><i>Old Filth</i> told the story of Sir Edward (Eddie) Feathers QC, aka Filth, his colonial upbringing and career, his long and comfortable marriage, his rivalries and friendships. <i>The Man in the Wooden Hat</i> picks up these threads from the perspective of Filth's wife, Betty. An orphan of the Japanese internment camps, a free spirit, a clever code-breaker at Bletchley Park, Betty has her own secret passions. No wonder she is drawn to Filth's hated rival at the Bar, the brash, forceful Veneering.</p><p>'What a lot Jane Gardam knows about love and its accommodations; the rich contradictory play of desire and loyalty; the sudden storms of feeling. And how elegantly and intelligently she writes about the instinctive, tendril-like gropings of one human heart towards another'<br>Jane Shilling <i>Daily Telegraph</i></p>
