Eddie Feathers is a Raj Orphan, nicknamed Old Filth for an acronym he, himself, is said to have invented - Failed in London, Try HongKong. The book is told in a series of flashbacks, beginning as Filth is newly widowed. Definitely focuses on his youth and how he came to be the proper Englishman he is. Great companion to THE MAN IN THE WOODEN HAT - but read this one first.
