VINTAGE VOYAGES: A world of journeys, from the tallest mountains to the depths of the mind


Greene takes us on a wild, unconventional and enlightening voyage with an ordinary, retired bank manager and his eccentric, daring aunt.

Henry Pulling, a retired bank manager, meets his septuagenarian Aunt Augusta for the first time in over fifty years at what he supposes to be his mother's funeral. Soon after, she persuades Henry to abandon Southwood, to travel to Brighton, Paris, Istanbul, Paraguay, and a shiftless, twilight society of hippies, war criminals, CIA men that will help Henry come alive after a dull suburban life.

Funny and bizarre... This is a Greene with the lightest touches

Susan Hill, The Lady

No serious writer of [the twentith century] has more thoroughly invaded and shaped the public imagination than Graham Greene - Time

Rich in exactly etched and moving portraits of real human beings...the tragic and comic ironies of love, loyalty and belief

The Times

The most ingenious, inventive and exciting of our novelists - V S Pritchett, The Times
