Gardam is an exquisite storyteller, picking up threads, laying them down, returning to them and giving them new meaning.

The Seattle Times

Jane Gardam's highly praised trilogy that began with Old Filth, continued with The Man in the Wooden Hat, and concludes with this book tells the story of a decades-long marriage stretching from the immediate post-World War II period to the early years of the twenty-first century. Old Filth was the story of Sir Edward Feathers-so clever, so triumphantly his own man, so wounded by his dreadful childhood. The Man in the Wooden Hat was his wife Betty's story, in which the difference between marriage and romance is weighed with great subtly and understanding. In Last Friends it is Terence Veneering's turn. Filth's hated rival in court, Veneering has escaped both his unconventional upbringing and the war and later emerges in the Far East as a brilliant, handsome man of panache and fame. Last Friends is an unforgettable novel that brings a magnificent trilogy to an end with the deep satisfaction that only great literature provides.
