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, politicians and writers. Full of hearty rancour, they form a scathing chronicle of the upper echelons of postwar English society. Volume 2 contains the novels: "Friends in Low Places"; "The Judas Boy"; "Places Where they Sing", and "Come Like Shadows".

"Raven has the mind of a cad and the pen of an angel" Guardian "An extraordinary novelist...magnificent" Mail on Sunday "A ready made cult waiting to be discovered" Spectator "Confident, worldly-wise, insolently comic... a highly entertaining narrative style" Sunday Times "Turn to Raven and revel in his mischievious, malicious world" Observer
