Description
For the first time ever, all four books in the Squire Quartet collected in one volume.
Set during the last years of the Cold War, and spanning the duration of Thatcher’s Britain, The Squire Quartet follows the political, professional and private adventures of a group of linked characters. It is a vivid fictional portrait of Britain’s recent history.
All four volumes – Life in the West, Forgotten Life, Remembrance Day and Somewhere East of Life – are collected here for the first time in one volume and for the first time in ebook form.
Advance Praise
Praise for the books in the Squire
Quartet:
‘Excited me more than anything else I’ve read this year.’
ANTHONY BURGESS
‘A long, handsome ingenious novel about war and peace,
very funny, very sad, full of closely seen, closely thought detail, wise exotic
and entertaining.’ IRIS MURDOCH
‘Aldiss delivers his storylines with joie
de vivre, his dialogue is impeccable, and his narrative is glazed with customary
wit.’ DAILY TELEGRAPH
‘Packs in enough detailed research and relevance
for a dozen novels with contemporary settings.’ LITERARY REVIEW
‘A
complex, thoughtful and beguiling story by one of our best novelists.’ WILLIAM
BOYD
