Description

Sole Survivor brings Maurice Gee's richly entertaining family chronicle up to the present day. The career of Duggie Plum (as ruthless in politics as in sex) is relayed to us with cool, outrageous irony by his journalist cousin, Raymond Sole. Raymond - known to his family as Ramong and to his enemies as R. Sole - sharpens the story of his own doomed marriage against that of his relationship to Duggie: the charged, competitive, love-hate relationship between a man of action and a man of words.
