Old Filth / Jane Gardam.

Gardam, Jane, (author.).

Summary:

"Filth, in his heyday, was an international lawyer with a practise in the Far East. Now, only the oldest QCs and Silks can remember that his nickname stood for Failed in London Try Hong Kong. Long ago, Old Filth was one of the many young children sent 'Home' from the East to be fostered and educated in England. In telling his story, Jane Gardam not only encapsulates a whole period from the glory days of the British Empire, through the Second World War to the present and beyond, but also illuminates the complexities of the character known variously as Eddie, the Judge, Fevvers, Filth, Master of the Inner Temple, Teddy and Sir Edward Feathers." -- Back cover.
