Synopsis

Reviews

Information

"Alms For Oblivion" is a series of ten novels, all telling separate stories but at the same time linked together by the characters they have in common: soldiers and dons, men of business, politician and writers. Full of hearty rancour, they form a scathing chronicle of the upper echelons of postwar English society. This final volume contains: "Bring Forth the Body" and "The Survivors".

"Majestic, scurrilous and scabrous...Raven's novels are joyous in their characterisation, wit and erudition... truffling in the fertile fields of soldiery, academia, business, politics and publishing. Raven's world -- the upper middle class and upper class -- is peopled by some of the vilest, funniest characters in English literature."
--"Observer"
