THE MAN IN THE WOODEN HAT - JANE GARDAM KARTONI...

'Full of the humour and eccentricity that have made Gardam one of the most enjoyable novelists
writing today'  Independent on Sunday Old Filth told the story of Sir Edward (Eddie) Feathers
QC  aka Filth  his colonial upbringing and career  his long and comfortable marriage  his
rivalries and friendships. The Man in the Wooden Hat picks up these threads from the
perspective of Filth's wife  Betty. An orphan of the Japanese internment camps  a free spirit 
a clever code-breaker at Bletchley Park  Betty has her own secret passions. No wonder she is
drawn to Filth's hated rival at the Bar  the brash  forceful Veneering. 'What a lot Jane Gardam
knows about love and its accommodations  the rich contradictory play of desire and loyalty  the
sudden storms of feeling. And how elegantly and intelligently she writes about the instinctive
tendril-like gropings of one human heart towards another' Jane Shilling Daily Telegraph
