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
