A review by veronicafrance
The Birthday Boys by Beryl Bainbridge

4.0

Computer failure means I'm writing this review long after the event. Bainbridge is a strangely under- rated writer. She does a superb job of getting into the heads of these five different men, giving each an individual voice. At the same time she shows their failings, the fatal hubris of a certain kind of British upper-class man, but always with compassion. A good short read.
