Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Booker Prize-winning novel from the author of Waterland, Shuttlecock and England. Four men once close to Jack Dodds, a London butcher, meet to carry out his peculiar last wish: to have his ashes scattered into the sea. For reasons best known to herself, Jack's widow, Amy, declines to join them. On the surface the tale of a simple if increasingly bizarre day's outing, 'Last Orders' is Graham Swift's most poignant exploration of the complexity and courage of ordinary lives. Celebrating 40 years of outstanding international writing, this is one of the essential Picador novels reissued in a beautiful new series style.
