At Tuppenny-hapenny Cottage in the English countryside, five
elderly people live together in rancorous disharmony. Adela
Bastable bosses the house, as her brother Bernard passes his days
thinking up malicious schemes against the baby-talking Marigold and
secret drinker Shorty, while kindly George lies bedridden upstairs.
The mismatched quintet keep their spirits alive by bickering and
waiting for grandchildren to visit at Christmas. But the festive
season does not herald goodwill to all at Tuppenny-hapenny Cottage.
Disaster and chaos, it seems, are just around the corner ... Told
with Amis's piercing wit and humanity, Ending Up (1974) is a
wickedly funny black comedy of the indignities of old age.
