A review by evafc
Last Friends by Jane Gardam

5.0

It is rather difficult to rate the one book when you can not see it apart from the other two books in this series. Overall the first and mostly the second book where the best. But this one sort of brings it all together. Jane Gardam is an exquisite writer, who paints colourful stories filled with colourful people. The three books are the story of a time long lost and forgotten. The stories of Edward Feathers, old filth, his wife Bettie, Teddy Veneering, old friends Dulcie and Fred Fiscal-Smith. Not one story has only one side to it. Even history is not always what it seems. The main characters have their haydays during the last great days of the Brittish empirie. And they leave that all behind with regret but also with a new hope for the future. Interesting and captivating read. I loved it.
