By Kingsley Amis,
1974
Describes the final stages of five old peoples’ lives, each connected, but
forced to share an isolated cottage.
A story about growing older & facing death.
Amis reminds us that we can be elderly, semi-senile, crippled with
physical indignities, self-deluding and humiliatingly unable to resolve in old
age the problems of early life, and still be triumphantly human.
