One of a series - Chronicles of Modern Twilight - which gives a cumulative picture of modern life; this novel concentrates on its later stages as retirement is held at bay, accepted and then used or misused. It has a lot to say about love, friendship and even death but this is only as an accompaniment to an entertaining story and some very funny writing and amusing set pieces. A good holiday read in intelligent but not too demanding company.
