The old devils

The return of the Weavers to their native South Wales brings "a shake-up all round". In varied ways - horrifically in one case - the past catches up and shows the awful and absurd consequences when a group of men and women begin to move out of the comfortable shelter of middle age into a new sense of isolation and loss, of regret for lost opportunity and for destructive selfishness too. The result is an outrageously funny book. The 1986 Booker Prize winner
