"REYNOLDS UPDIKE - soldier, farmer, car salesman, electrical goods manufacturer, entrepeneur, poet, lover, father - & living treasure. & in the declining years of his century, splendid cook in a women's refuge, & even a dog.
Reynolds Updike's 100th birthday is also New Zealand's 150th, & the twin threads of history are thus intertwined. Through war & two Depressions, from the mud of Gallip[oli by way of the Jazz Age to a brave new world of market forces, an unmistakable voice describes the fears & passions of this extra-ordinary human being.
From the time Reynolds Updike comes tumbling into the world, leaving his imprint on everyone he meets from ordinary people to royalty, until he raises his glass to us all, he is an unburdened & unforgettable man.
Randy, opinionated, unscrupulous but above all loving, Reynolds Updike leads us to the eve of his second hundred years upon the planet. Will he make it? In the comic tour-de-force of this outstanding novel, Gar Langford makes it impossible for teh reader not to care."
