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.

I loved this novel. Andrew O’Hagan’s plot, characterisation and turn of phrase makes for a compelling read. A well spent 10 years Mr O. Don’t take 10 years for the next novel! Tick tock….

Narrator captured all the characters superbly. Perceptive and very revealing storyline which seems to capture the essence of London today.

It was a slow starter, but it picked up as it went along. The main protagonist is deeply unsympathetic, which is the main flaw of the book, but after a bit you really want to know what happens to all the large cast of characters. I enjoyed it.

Panoramic view of a society in decline
