Capital

• "Precise, humane and often hilarious, John Lanchester's Capital teems with life. Its Dickensian sweep and its clear-eyed portrayal of the end of a strange era make this novel not only immensely enjoyable, but important, too." - Claire Messud • "Strikingly original..." -The Guardian • "Lanchester makes us care deeply about his imperiled characters....A remarkably vibrant and engrossing novel about what we truly value." - Booklist • "Capital[is] filled with the news of now, in which the intricacies of the present moment are noticed with clarity and relish and then brilliantly dramatized. It is clear that its characters, its wisdom, and the scope and range of its sympathy will fascinate readers into the far future." - Cólm Toibín
