Last Orders by Graham Swift, winner of the 1996 Booker Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction, follows four friends honoring the final wish of Jack Dodds, a London butcher and WWII veteran, to have his ashes scattered in Margate. As they journey from Bermondsey to the seaside, the men reflect on decades of friendship, betrayal, and loss, revealing hidden affairs, resentments, and regrets. Told through interwoven flashbacks and shifting perspectives, the novel becomes a moving meditation on memory, loyalty, and the quiet complexities of ordinary lives.
