Synopsis

In Kingsley Amis' Ending Up, we meet the inhabitants of Tuppeny-happeny Cottage, a gloomy isolated house occupied by a group of old folks thrown together by fate and a lack of options. Overcome with tedium and decay of aging, the cottagers turn to malice to amuse themselves and keep their spirits up. When the grandchildren arrive to do their duty on Christmas Day, the festivities degenerate into an unforeseen riot.
