Description
At Tuppenny-hapenny Cottage, five elderly people live together in a state of rancorous disharmony. Adela Bastable dominates the household, while her brother Bernard plots schemes against his companions.
The mismatched quintet keeps their spirits alive through bickering and waiting for grandchildren to visit at Christmas. However, disaster and chaos seem inevitable as the festive season approaches.
Told with piercing wit and humanity, Ending Up is a wickedly funny black comedy of the indignities of old age. With a new introduction by Helen Dunmore, this novel offers a humorous and thought-provoking portrayal of life's later years.
