Synopsis
Four men once close to Jack Dodds, a London butcher, meet to carry out his peculiar last to have his ashes scattered into the sea. For reasons best known to herself, Jack's widow, Amy, declines to join them. On the surface the tale of a simple if increasingly bizarre day's outing, Last Orders is Graham Swift's most poignant exploration of the complexity and courage of ordinary lives.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Risse; Gebogener Buchrücken; Geknickte Ecken. Ray, Lenny, Vic und Vince, vier alte Freunde treffen sich eines Morgens in ihrer Stammkneipe im Süden von London. Vom Pub aus fahren sie ans Meer, um dort die Asche ihres soeben verstorbenen Kumpels Jack zu verstreuen. Es beginnt eine tragikomische Pilgerfahrt, die nicht nur durch die Grafschaft Kent, sondern ein halbes Jahrhundert zurück in die Vergangenheit der Männer führt. Ein Roman über die kleinen und die großen Freuden, Sünden und Dramen des Lebens, ausgezeichnet mit dem Booker Preis 1996. »Eine wunderschöne Mischung aus Realismus und Humor, ein schrullig tiefgründiger Roman.« DIE ZEIT ---------------- From the author of Waterland and Ever After, Last Orders is a quiet but dazzling novel about a group of men, friends since the Second World War, whose lives revolve around work, family, the racetrack, and their favorite pub. When one of them dies, the survivors drive his ashes from London to a seaside town where they will be scattered, compelling them to take stock in who they are today, who they were before, and the shifting relationships in between. Both funny and moving, this won the Booker Prize in 1996. Seller Inventory # 3cc5a7cc-334d-465e-9f34-8ccb2107a6f0
