Sinossi
Tuppenny-hapenny Cottage nella campagna inglese, cinque anziani vivono insieme in una disarmonia rancorosa. Adela Bastable comanda in casa, mentre suo fratello Bernard trascorre le sue giornate a escogitare piani maligni contro Marigold, che parla come un bambino, e Shorty, che beve in segreto, mentre il gentile George giace costretto a letto al piano di sopra. Il quintetto male assortito mantiene vivo il proprio spirito litigando e aspettando che i nipoti vengano a trovarlo a Natale. Ma la stagione delle feste non annuncia benevolenza per tutti a Tuppenny-hapenny Cottage. Disastro e caos, a quanto pare, sono dietro l'angolo. Raccontato con l'arguzia penetrante e l'umanità di Amis, Ending Up (1974) è una commedia nera malvagiamente divertente sulle umiliazioni della vecchiaia.

Informazioni sull?autore
Kingsley Amis's (1922-1995) works take a humorous yet highly critical look at British society, especially in the period following the end of the Second World War. Born in London, Amis explored his disillusionment in novels such as That Uncertain Feeling (1955). His other works include The Green Man (1970), Stanley and the Women (1984), and The Old Devils (1986), which won the Booker Prize. Amis also wrote poetry, criticism and short stories. He received a knighthood in 1990.
