Celebrated novelist JohnLanchester ( an elegant and wonderfully witty writer New York Times) returns with an epic novel that captures theobsessions of our time. It s 2008 and things are falling apart: Bear Stearnsand Lehman Brothers are going under, and the residents of Pepys Road, London abanker and his shopaholic wife, an old woman dying of a brain tumor and hergraffiti-artist grandson, Pakistani shop owners and a shadowy refugee who worksas the meter maid, the young soccer star from Senegal and his minder arereceiving anonymous postcards reading We Want What You Have. Who is behindit? What do they want? Epic in scope yet intimate, capturing the ordinarydramas of very different lives, this is a novel of love and suspicion, offinancial collapse and terrorist threat, of property values going up andfortunes going down, and of a city at a moment of extraordinary tension.

很久没有读过这么无趣的小说了。作者就像在完成任务似的书写他笔下的人物／家庭，他一点也不关心他们，只是想赶紧写完他们了事。

评分今年读过的最好一部小说。人们互相之间的关系，遭遇的种种外部冲击，只是观察到的表象，其实都受制于每个人对世界的假设和期望。
评分一向都不太读的来英文的小说，这本的体裁还有点兴趣，然后很多英国的幽默
