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
