Notes
Description
Age has done everything except mellow the characters in Kingsley Amis's The Old Devils, which turns its humane and ironic gaze on a group of Welsh married couples who have been spending their golden years --when "all of a sudden the evening starts starting after breakfast" --nattering, complaining, reminiscing, and, above all, drinking. This more or less orderly social world is thrown off -kilter, however, when two old friends unexpectedly return from England: Alun Weaver, now a celebrated man of Welsh letters, and his entrancing wife, Rhiannon. Long-dormant rivalries and romances are rudely awakened, as life at the Bible and Crown, the local pub, is changed irrevocably. (Amazon)
