Last Orders by Graham Swift
Four men once close to Jack Dodds, a London butcher, meet to carry out his peculiar last wish: to have his ashes scattered into the sea. For reasons best known to herself, Jack's widow, Amy, declines to join them. On the surface the tale of a simple if increasingly bizarre day's outing, "Last Orders" is Graham Swift's most poignant exploration of the complexity and courage of ordinary lives.
Graham Swift's Booker Prize winning novel has been adapted for screen by Fred Schepisi. It stars Michael Caine, Bob Hoskins, Helen Mirren, Ray Winstone, David Hemmings and Tom Courtenay.
