Winner of the Booker Prize.
Malcolm, Peter and Charlie and their Soave-sodden wives have one main ambition left in life: to drink Wales dry. But their routine is both shaken and stirred when they are joined by professional Welshman Alun Weaver (CBE) and his wife, Rhiannon. Reviews
'A brilliant novel - It is sadly comic and comically sad' - Anthony Burgess 'A great storyteller, although he was much more than a storyteller' - Keith Waterhouse 'He was a genuine comic writer, probably the best after P. G. Wodehouse... He had a lasting influence and was a very good novelist.' - John Mortimer
