Last Orders

Four men once close to Jack Dodds, a London butcher, meet to carry out this perculiar last wish: to have his ashes scattered into the sea. For reasons best known to herself, Jack's widow, Amy, declines to join them. On the surface the tale of a simple if increasingly bizarre day's outing, Last Orders is Graham Swift's most poignant exploration of the complexity and courage of ordinary lives.

'His finest book to date; emotionally charged and technically surperb...Last Orders is about how we live and how we die and our struggle to make abiding connections between the two' Times Literary Supplement
