TEA AND BOOK TALK: November 2011, Date TBA, 3:00PM—Old Filth, Jan Garman

based, in part, on the early life of Rudyard Kipling. Sir Edward Feathers has progressed from struggling

young barrister to wealthy expatriate lawyer to distinguished retired judge, living out his last days in

comfortable seclusion in Dorset. The engrossing and moving account of his life, from birth in colonial

Malaya, to Wales, where he is sent as a “Raj orphan,” to Oxford, his career and marriage, parallels

much of the 20th century’s torrid and twisted history. Old Filth was nominated for the 2005 Orange Prize.
