Last Orders by Graham Swift
4.0
I really liked it, though all the British-isms (and English not being my native language) made it a bit of a hard read.
Perhaps what I enjoyed the most was seeing how the characters' lives were intertwined in so many different ways that not even they were aware of... seemed to me like a very good (perhaps even outstanding) depiction of life and of what REAL lifelong, close-knit relationships are like, without the mushiness/corniness that so often mucks-up an otherwise great read.
All in all, I definitely recommend it and will add "Waterland" to my HUGE to-be-read pile.
