      ''Each of the novels in Alms for Oblivion is an elegant morality tale, beautifully composed, sparkling with appreciation of the sheer limitless variety of human wickedness'' TLS

      Simon Raven''s sequence of colourful and funny novels about the English upper-class misbehaving continues against a backdrop of intrigue in Athens, radicalism in Cambridge, turmoil in India and movie-making in Corfu. Dazzlingly witty and thoroughly depraved, Raven''s world is also a dark mirror to our times - one that is sure to make you blush, shriek, laugh out loud and always read on.

      Volume 2: The Judas Boy, Places Where they Sing, Sound the Retreat and Come Like Shadows
