A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL FICTION

He always knew: when his life came tumbling down, it would occur in public.

Campbell Flynn is fuelled by an appetite for wealth and admiration, controversy and novelty. An art historian and celebrity pundit, he has enjoyed a charmed career rubbing shoulders with oligarchs and aristocrats, fashion designers and fine artists, at ease with the highbrow and the mainstream.

Only now, the world is changing. Over the course of an incendiary year a web of secrets and crimes will be revealed, and Campbell Flynn may not be able to protect himself from the shattering exposure of all his privilege really involves.

Andrew O'Hagan's novel Caledonian Road was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 31/03/2024

Great story brought alive by the narrator’s wonderful voices. Many characters with their lives affected by their need to survive. or dominate, in a world driven by money and the situations into which they were born.
