Last Orders by Graham Swift, which won the 1996 Booker Prize, tells the story of four close drinking buddies of Jack Dodds, master butcher, carrying out his peculiar last wish to have his ashes scattered off Margate Pier at sea. But why has his widow declined to accompany them? A simple tale of an increasingly bizarre day. ‘Tragic, comic, and wonderfully compassionate’ Daily Mail.

The discussion will be led by Valerie Bird.
