About this product

Product Information

'It's a cliche to compare novelists to Jane Austen, but in the case of Jane Gardam it happens to be true. Her diamond-like prose, her understanding of the human heart, her formal inventiveness and her sense of what it is to be alive - young, old, lonely, in love - never fades' Amanda Craig 'Her work, like Sylvia Townsend Warner's, has that appealing combination of elegance, erudition and flinty wit' Patrick Gale Filth (Failed In London, Try Hong Kong) is a successful lawyer when he marries Elisabeth in Hong Kong soon after the War. Reserved, immaculate and courteous, Filth finds it hard to demonstrate his emotions. But Elisabeth is different - a free spirit. She was brought up in the Japanese Internment Camps, which killed both her parents but left her with a lust for survival and an affinity with the Far East. No wonder she is attracted to Filth's hated rival at the Bar - the brash, forceful Veneering. Veneering has a Chinese wife and an adored son - and no difficulty whatsoever in demonstrating his emotions . . . How Elisabeth turns into Betty and whether she remains loyal to stolid Filth or is swept up by caddish Veneering, makes for a page-turning plot in a perfect novel which is full of surprises and revelations, as well as the humour and eccentricites for which Jane Gardam's writing is famous.

    The item reached me in excellent condition. It was securely packaged by the seller to withstand the rigours of transit. It is an exact match to the seller's photograph and description. The item is good value for money and has a pleasing appearance. The seller's communication is good,but they requested feedback twice before my phone would allow me to leave it,as it was instructing me to wait for 7 days. I recommend this seller.

    Arrived very quickly, very well packaged and as described. Francis, the seller, kept me informed about the day of posting and arrival of the item. These were the cheapest new set on Ebay, which at £1.98 per axle, is excellent value for money. And although not strictly coach wheels, are certainly good enough to do the job, as they are very rarely seen whilst moving. A recommended seller.

    Fantastic service! I ordered the Pedigree Tasty Minis on the Monday morning - they were delivered on the Tuesday afternoon. This item is sold by many different sellers but I’m really glad I chose this one. Very speedy delivery, item as described, perfect condition, great price and communication. Would 100% recommend! Thank you! X

    The Sequel to the authors "Old Filth" . Not quite on the same level, but essential reading to round up the story.
