About the book

'A thoughtful page-turner' THE TIMES
'Vast, well-plotted and gripping throughout' SPECTATOR
'Richly entertaining and highly rewarding' EVENING STANDARD

Seven Londoners are invited to an opulent dinner party. From a brutal hedge-funder to a lovelorn barrister, a Polish footballer to a pickle magnate, they are defined by the virtual worlds of religious extremism, financial gambling, drugs and internet obsession they inhabit. But it is 2007, the Crash is coming, and all will face a terrible reckoning.

A Week in December is a dazzling and darkly comic state-of-the-nation novel.
