Old Filth by Jane Gardam

3.0

Another fun read about a male character. The prose is a bit difficult to follow sometimes because of interjections by different characters (and sometimes it's hard to tell who's doing the interjecting), but the story is lovely. Many colorful places, people and eras get woven together as an old man remembers his life. The book is interesting in one respect because the reader is given a sense of the wonderful reputation Old Filth has as a lawyer and a judge, and yet that part of his life is not described at all in his memories. A good reminder that we are much more than our work.
