Last Friends by Jane Gardam

2.0

Very disappointing. I only finished this because I had enjoyed the first two in the series and wanted to have read the full set. There was very little of Edward and Betty and lots of characters we had barely heard of/didn't care about, like Dulcie and Fiscal-Smith. The story of Veneering's early boyhood went on far too long and then the mystery of his marriage to Elsie was not touched on at all. Isobel remained shadowy and inconsistent. I think I liked sulky Susan the most...
