Críticas:
Her great talent is to be able to take you along a perfectly ordinary street, rip the façade away and show the strange and passionate events that go on behind closed doors (DAILY TELEGRAPH)
It is a measure of Bawden's skill, that she manages to show both the terrors of extreme longevity and its comic potential. But then she is a wonderfully accomplished writer and this is a very enjoyable book. (THE TIMES)
An upper-middle class version of Mike Leigh's SECRETS AND LIES. (INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)
Bawden has a penetraing eye for both the insalubrious and gorgeous detail, homing in with language that is always crisp and precise. (GUARDIAN)

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Good. Product Description In six days, Silas Mudd will turn 100 years old. He is alarmingly healthy and tough as old boots, more than can be said of his son Will. "Not sure hell make old bones," Silas confides loudly to Coral, his daughter-in-law. But there is no doubt that Silass son and his two daughters will be at the party. Best outfits and good form are what they think Silas wants served up, and they dare not disappoint him. This is not a family that reveals disturbing thoughts or truths. But Silas is the only one left who knows exactly what is shoring up his family. So he sits, waiting and thinking, wondering what would happen if he were to tell. About the Author Nina Bawden is the author of more than 40 novels, including Circles of Deceit, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 2004 she received the PEN Award for a Lifetimes Service to Literature. Nº de ref. del artículo: SONG1860499112
