Last Orders by Graham Swift
An unforgettable plunge into the lives of ordinary men who set out on an extraordinary task, taking the ashes of their deceased friend, Jack, to the sea. This is no sad story of death, however: at the end I felt as though I had personally experienced all the moments of jealousy and friendship, joy and despair, that subtly link Jack's circle of friends. Vibrant language. A beautiful, moving story.
(Pamela Jaunin - bwl 13 April 2002 )
