"A profound, intricately stratified novel full of life, love lost and love enduring." - The Globe and Mail "Swift is surely one of England's finest living novelists.... The tale he tells is as affecting as it is convincing.... Quietly, but with conviction, he seeks to reaffirm the values of decency, loyalty, love." - The New York Review of Books From the Trade Paperback edition., "A profound, intricately stratified novel full of life, love lost and love enduring." -The Globe and Mail "Swift is surely one of England's finest living novelists....

Movie Tie-In
Synopsis
Four men gather in a London pub. They have taken it upon themselves to carry out the last orders of Jack Dodds, master butcher, and deliver his ashes to the sea. As they drive towards the fulfillment of their mission, their errand becomes an extraordinary journey into their collective and individual pasts. Braiding these men's voices, and that of Jack's widow, into a choir of sorrow and resentment, passion and regret, Swift creates a testament to a changing England and to enduring mortality. "Swift has involved us in real, lived lives...Quietly, but with conviction, he seeks to affirm the values of decency, loyalty, love."--New York Review of Books "A beautiful book...a novel that speaks profoundly of human need and tenderness. Even the most cynical will be warmed by it."--San Francisco Chronicle

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

  • Not for everyone

    This book was not what I was expecting. What I thought it was going to be (based on a recent book review) was a beautifully written, deep, and moving philosophical book on the passing of time and friendships. What it turned out to be was a disjointed and sometimes bawdy collection of vignettes of UK people whose lives revolve around drinking at a bar.
