Alms for Oblivion Vol. II.

Simon Raven's sequence of colourful and funny novels about the English upper-class misbehaving continues against a backdrop of intrigue in Athens, radicalism in Cambridge, turmoil in India and movie-making in Corfu. Dazzlingly witty and thoroughly depraved, Raven's world is also a dark mirror to our times - one that is sure to make you blush, shriek, laugh out loud and always read on. Volume 2 includes: "The Judas Boy", "Places Where they Sing", "Sound the Retreat", and "Come Like Shadows".
