Beschreibung

<p>'She does fiction as it should be done, with confidence and insight' Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie<br><br>'[Gardam] writes about love, death, loneliness, money, and madness with such gentle ferocity that she is often compared to Jane Austen, though a closer analogy is with Samuel Beckett. The "Old Filth" trilogy should be read by anyone who has ever been interested in how we become who we are' Amanda Craig, <i>Independent on Sunday</i><br><br><i>Old Filth</i> and <i>The Man in the Wooden Hat</i> told with bristling tenderness and black humour the stories of that Titan of the Hong Kong law courts, Old Filth QC, and his clever, misunderstood wife Betty. <i>Last Friends, </i>the final volume of this trilogy, picks up with Terence Veneering, Filth's great rival in work and - though it was never spoken of - in love. <br><br> Veneering, Filth and their friends tell a tale of love, friendship, grace, the bittersweet experiences of a now-forgotten Empire and the disappointments and consolations of age.<br><br> 'Her writing is immaculately elegant and this humorous, melancholic final volume establishes the trilogy as a modern classic' Kate Saunders, <i>The Times</i></p>
