His 'services' were  much in demand amongst the great and the good and after his untimely  death at the age of 34 they -- the film stars and politicians, the  writers and publishers, the TV pundits and celebrity chefs -- are  gathered for his memorial service. The conduct of the service is a great  worry for the priest taking the service, but it proves to be a test for  the congregation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is Alan Bennett at his absolute best with an  exceptional satire. It is a perfect work of fiction but it will give  readers the extra frisson of pleasure of identifying many of the  characters, including even the masseur. \u003cb\u003eThis is a small masterpiece.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Profile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152268214512,"sku":"9781782831532","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782831532_p0.jpg?v=1763722436","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782831532","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
