Download or read book Alms for Oblivion written by Simon Raven and published by Vintage Books. This book was released on 1998-01 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALMS FOR OBLIVION is a series of ten novels, all telling separate stories but at the same time linked together by the characters they have in common: soldiers and dons, men of business, politicians and writers. Full of hearty rancour, they form a scathing chronicle of the upper echelons of postwar English society, and this omnibus edition contains the first four volumes of the celebrated series: FIELDING GRAY, FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES, THE SABRE SQUADRON and THE RICH PAY LATE.
