Why read it?

1 author picked The Feast as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

We start with the news that a cliff on the seaside in Cornwall has collapsed, obliterating a small private hotel. Some guests died, some survived. The remainder of the book is the story of their last days. The characters range from slightly feral children to an extremely difficult clergyman, representing a range of post-war British society. Kennedy has a keen satirical eye but, despite their follies and sins, you find yourself gradually thinking “not that one” and “I hope she makes it”. You’ll have to read it to find out who does.
