Description
Set over seven days in London during December 2007, this sharply observed novel interweaves the lives of seven very different people, from a hedge fund manager pursuing the trade of his career to a professional footballer, a young woman searching for direction, and others navigating the city’s glittering and troubled landscape. As their paths gradually converge, the story explores the widening divisions between wealth and poverty, tradition and modernity, faith and skepticism, and the isolating effects of contemporary life. With wit, intelligence, and incisive social commentary, it offers a vivid portrait of a city—and a society—on the brink of change.
