NOW A MAJOR ITV DRAMA, THE SINGAPORE GRIP IS A MODERN CLASSIC FROM
THE BOOKER-PRIZE WINNING J.G. FARRELL 'Brilliant, richly absurd,
melancholy' Observer 'Enjoyable on many different levels' Sunday
Times 'One of the most outstanding novelists of his generation'
Spectator Singapore, 1939: Walter Blackett, ruthless rubber
merchant, is head of British Singapore's oldest and most powerful
firm. And his family's prosperous world of tennis parties,
cocktails and deferential servants seems unchanging. No one
suspects it - but this world is poised on the edge of the abyss.
This is the eve of the Fall of Singapore. A love story and a war
story, a tragicomic tale of a city under siege and a dying way of
life, The Singapore Grip is a modern classic. 'A narrative of
exceptional imagination and scope' Newsweek 'A fine piece of work,
informative, funny tragic. One of those novels that present a whole
world for the reader to inhabit' Margaret Drabble 'No writer has
swallowed all of Singapore with the verve and wit of the late J.G.
Farrell' Time 'His brilliant of style places him beside such
masters of the modern novel as Patrick White and Saul Bellow'
