(NO MORE THAN 5 BOOKS PER ORDER OR PARCEL ALLOWED) - Did belong to a library before but book and jacket survived quite well. >>> No-one does black comedy quite like Amis, and this tight, funny, serious tale of five old folk locked Sartre-like in each other's company at Tuppenny-hapenny Cottage sees him at his best. It packs in witty observation of the sharply differentiated characters, each of them eccentric in their own ways, and all disposed of with gleeful relish by their all-powerful creator. The cast revolve around Bernard, the dispeptic homosexual, intent on acting out his dislike of the others by perpetrating little acts of malevolent mischief. Some reasons for Bernard's seemingly motiveless sins are revealed in the final pages.
