Story17
Filth ( Failed in London, Try Hong Kong) is a successful lawyer when he marries Elisabeth in Hong Kong soon after the war. Reserved, immaculate, and courteous, Filth finds it hard to demonstrate his emotions.
But Elisabeth is different - a free spirit. She was brought up in the Japanese internment camps, which killed both her parents but left her with a lust for survival and an affinity with the Far East. No wonder she is attracted to Filth's hated rival at the bar - the brash, forceful Veneering.

Story1
Throughout her career prize-winning novelist Jane Gardam has been writing glorious short stories, each one hallmarked with all the originality, poignancy, wry comedy, and narrative brilliance of her longer fiction. Passion and longing, metamorphosis and enchantment are Gardam's themes, and like a magician she plucks them from the quietest of corners: from Wimbledon gardens and cold churches, from London buses and industrial backstreets.

Story12
Shortlisted for the 2014 Folio Prize. Old Filth and The Man in the Wooden Hat told with bristling tenderness and black humour the stories of that titan of the Hong Kong law courts, Old Filth QC, and his clever, misunderstood wife, Betty. Last Friends, the final volume of this trilogy, picks up with Terence Veneering, Filth's great rival in work and - though it was never spoken of - in love.

Ein flirrender Sommerroman an der englischen Küste von der großen Erzählerin Jane Gardamy. Es ist Sommer, und Margaret ist acht und schwer genervt: Der frischgeborene Bruder ist hässlich und schreit, die Mutter hat sich in ein träge stillendes Wesen verwandelt, der Vater predigt gegen die Verderbtheit der Welt. Einmal in der Woche kann Margaret der Langeweile zu Hause entfliehen: Mittwoch ist Ausflugstag mit Lydia, dem neuen Hausmädchen, die mit ihrer selbstbewussten Körperlichkeit und handfesten Sprache in diese Familie platzt und als einzige Erwachsene wirklich zu wissen scheint, was sie will − Spaß.

Jessica sagt bedingungslos und in den unmöglichsten Momenten die Wahrheit. Ihr Widerwille gegen Anpassung bringt sie in dem kleinen englischen Badeort ständig in verquere Situationen. Sie hat genau eine Freundin - der Rest ihrer kleinen kriegsüberschatteten Welt begegnet ihr mit einer Mischung aus Faszination und Abscheu. Aber das ist ihr egal, denn eigentlich braucht sie all ihre explosive Kraft, um Schriftstellerin zu werden. Oder ist sie das schon? "Weit weg von Verona" ist Jane Gardams erster Roman. Doch er enthält bereits all das, wofür sie bewundert wird - die atmosphärische Stärke, den Mut zum Geheimnis und ihren besonderen Witz.

Manchmal vergisst Betty, dass sie keine Chinesin ist, so selbstverständlich nah ist ihr das Land, dessen Sprache sie seit Kindertagen beherrscht. Diese elementare Liebe zum Fernen Osten verbindet sie tief mit ihrem künftigen Mann Edward Feathers, dem jungen Star unter den Richtern der Krone in Hongkong. Als Betty Edward ewige Treue verspricht, weiß sie intuitiv, dass ihre Ehe kaum auf wilder Leidenschaft gründen wird.
