Last Orders | Litsy

#NuYear #MyLastDay Four men gather in a London pub. They have taken it upon themselves to carry out the last orders of Jack Dodds, master butcher, and deliver his ashes to the sea. As they drive towards the fulfillment of their mission, their errand becomes an extraordinary journey into their collective and individual pasts. A great book and a great movie. Highly recommend ❤️📚

Cinfhen, TrishB

I loved this almost as much as Mothering Sunday. This one is very male-focused, populated by a group of bumbling, inarticulate, hard-drinking Londoners on a road trip to scatter their friend Jack's ashes, each man's grief complicated by tangles of Jack-related secrets. The polyphonic audio version is amazing. It took me a while to get into it, but the intensity gathered and gathered and cracked me wide open.

DeborahSmall Loved this 8y

saresmoore Wonderful review. 8y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Mothering Sunday was my first Graham Swift - may make this one my second! 8y

andrew61 I loved this book although it is a few years since i read it. I've just grabbed mothering Sunday from the library for my book group read but have 'waterlands' sat on a shelf which i understand is supposed to be very good. 8y

TrishB In a trivial fact of the day - I am wearing ear-rings from Canterbury Cathedral today 😀! 8y

shawnmooney @TrishB I hope they're not giving you attitude like the cathedral proper seemed to in the novel – LOL 8y

TrishB 😂😂😂 I think it's probably to late to worry about that! 8y

saresmoore Well, there's an unexpected comparison! And another example of that inarticulate emotion—it's kind of fascinating. 8y

shawnmooney @saresmoore It is indeed! It's the kind of read where I won't have much of a clue how I feel about it until I finish, and perhaps shall need several days afterwards before I do. 8y

saresmoore I like books that make you mull them over. That's what it was like when I was first dating my husband. 😬🙃 8y

shawnmooney @saresmoore I misread that as "when I was dating my first husband"! ? 8y

saresmoore Haha! No, no. One husband is quite enough for me! 8y

The emotional inarticulateness of men can itself be a powerful articulation.

saresmoore Leaking at both ends—that should be funny, but you're right about the emotion in this passage. That inarticulateness articulated makes for better reading, too, I think. 8y

DeborahSmall Great book 8y

Just started this on audio. You know how sometimes the narrator's voice just grabs you and won't let go, and you couldn't get distracted if you tried? That's what this is like so far.
