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.

the erosion of financial capital in the capital city of great britain
评分今年讀過的最好一部小說。人們互相之間的關係，遭遇的種種外部衝擊，隻是觀察到的錶象，其實都受製於每個人對世界的假設和期望。
评分R4 read by Rafe Spall. 一氣聽完
评分一嚮都不太讀的來英文的小說，這本的體裁還有點興趣，然後很多英國的幽默
评分沒讀完……這也太工整太無聊瞭……就這玩意也能暢銷？
