"...The situation in Ending Up, a group of elderly down at the heel English forced to live together for financial reasons, even though they really do not like each other or get along, is perfectly drawn, and each character is sharp and realistic. You probably want to give Amis a rest between books--it's hard to hang out with that many nasty people for too long--but you will go back to read another and another down the road because they are so funny and on the mark." - Amazon reviewer

  • Mô tả

At Tuppenny-hapenny Cottage in the English countryside, five elderly people live together in rancorous disharmony. Adela Bastable bosses the house, as her brother Bernard passes his days thinking up malicious schemes against the baby-talking Marigold and secret drinker Shorty, while kindly George lies bedridden upstairs. The mismatched quintet keep their spirits alive by bickering and waiting for grandchildren to visit at Christmas. But the festive season does not herald goodwill to all at Tuppenny-hapenny Cottage. Disaster and chaos, it seems, are just around the corner ...

Told with Amis' piercing wit and humanity, "Ending Up" (1974) is a wickedly funny black comedy of the indignities of old age.
