 Greenlight Fiction Book Group Tuesday, August 20, 7:30 PM Greenlight Fiction Book Group discusses Old Filth Led by Greenlight general manager Alexis, this book group discusses paperback fiction on the third Tuesday of each month. For August, the group discusses Old Filth by Jane Gardam. Sir Edward Feathers has progressed from struggling young barrister to wealthy expatriate lawyer to distinguished retired judge, living out his last days in comfortable seclusion in Dorset. The engrossing and moving account of his life, from birth in colonial Malaya, to Wales, where he is sent as a "Raj orphan," to Oxford, his career and marriage, parallels much of the 20th century's torrid and twisted history. Old Filth was nominated for the 2005 Orange Prize. The Guardian wrote "Gardam's superb new novel is surely her masterpiece… This is the rare novel that drives its readers forward while persistently waylaying and detaining by the sheer beauty and inventiveness of it style."
