Old Filth

Filth (Failed In London, Try Hong Kong) is a successful lawyer when he marries Elisabeth in Hong Kong soon after the war. But Elisabeth is different - a free-spirit, with a lust for survival and an affinity with the Far East. No wonder she is attracted to Filth's hated rival at the Bar - the brash, forceful Veneering.

Titan of the Hong Kong law courts, Old Filth QC, his clever, misunderstood wife Betty, and their friends tell a tale of love, friendship, grace and the bittersweet experiences of a now-forgotten Empire and the disappointments and consolations of age.
