Old as the City

Roland Reece, once one of the great and good of Nottingham, has lost everything. His last hope is to write his autobiography. But as he gathers the facts of his life, a different picture emerges from the flattering one he had in his head. What he remembers as the truth slips through his fingers and his belief that a man controls his own destiny is revealed as futile delusion. An intense but also witty study of a man in decline, desperately trying to throw the dice one last time.
