What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
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.

Critics Review
-
A copy should be given out with every bus pass.
The Times -
A brilliant novel. It is sadly comic and comically sad
Anthony Burgess -
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 -
A bloody funny lovely bloody book… A genius at full throttle
Financial Times -
In these explicit days, Mr Amis is the laureate of the unsayable, the literary it man
Sunday Telegraph
