Old Filth by Jane Gardam
5.0
This had been recommend to me by two people with hugely varied tastes. After looking at it on the To Read pile for a long time I decided to take it on. And what a great read it was. Old Filth read like a proper well written and considered novel that actually managed to treat characters sympathetically without being cloying or saccharine.
With Empire being such a subjective and divisive topic, I loved the cold and detached manner in which the characters were forced to endure and deal with Empire's all pervasive fog, that choked the globe and shaped lives.
Stunningly good novel.
