Armed with his own memoirs and its embarrassing disclosures of his friends' youthful escapades, the hapless but likeable Eric gets mistakenly invited to his famous artist friend's giant bash at the latter's country pile. Wheedling his way in, he proceeds to cause havoc, leading to hilarious consequences. Both funny and satirical, we are taken through the lives of a group of friends threading through the 1970's and 1980's to the present day. Del Monté brilliantly evokes the essence of the late 20th century.
Took me longer than expected to finish reading Eh?. This book content is heavy. One need to remember the scene that happened previously which can be a challenge at times. I kind of like this book as it allows me to see as a 3rd person on how a perception that derive from love to hatred. How one can only be appease by a death of someone you love. The art of manipulation and betrayal is evidently displayed in the name of goodwill. The writer has cleverly brought out the ugliness of man in the environment of relationship based on love and friends. Indeed curiosity does kill the cat.
