An upper-middle class version of Mike Leigh's SECRETS AND LIES. (INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)
Bawden has a penetraing eye for both the insalubrious and gorgeous detail, homing in with language that is always crisp and precise. (GUARDIAN)
Reseña del editor
In six days Silas Mudd will be one hundred years old and is alarmingly healthy - more than can be said of his son. 'Not sure he'll make old bones' he confides loudly to his daughter-in-law. Grumpily flattered by the fuss over his impending party - even from his irritating family, Silas' greater pleasure is 'to go over his life' and the women whom he loved and who made trouble for him: his sterling and capable Aunt; his wonderfully vulgar second wife Bella; Molly, a music-hall singing sister; and Effie, his first and hopeless wife. Silas is the only one left who knows exactly what is shoring up his family. And now he sits, waiting and thinking, just wondering what it would be like if he were to say ...

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good/Fine. First Edition. In six days Silas Mudd will celebrate his one hundredth birthday. He is alarmingly healthy and tough as old boots - which is more than can be said of his son Will. But there is no doubt that Silas's son - and his two daughters - will be at the party. Best outfits and good form are what they think Silas wants served up and they dare not disappoint him. Meanwhile, though grumpily flattered by the fuss - even from his irritating family - Silas's greater pleasure is 'to go over over his life' and the women he has loved and who 'made trouble for him'. But they've all gone now, and Silas is the only one left who knows exactly what is shoring up his family. So he sits, waiting and thinking, just wondering what it would be like if he were to tell.
