The internationally celebrated author of The Debt to Pleasure returns with this major, breakout novel -- scathing and subversive, sharply witty and brilliantly observed as it follows the lives and fortunes of a group of people in London that becomes connected in unforeseen ways.

Pepys Road: an ordinary street in the capital. Today, through each letterbox along this ordinary street drops a card with a simple message: We Want What You Have. At forty, Roger Yount is blessed with an expensively groomed wife, two small sons and a powerful job in the city. Freddy Kano, teenage football sensation, has left a two-room shack in Senegal to follow his dream. Traffic warden Quentina has exchanged the violence of the police in Zimbabwe for the violence of the enraged middle classes. Elsewhere in the Capital, Zbigniew has come from Warsaw to indulge the super-rich in their interior decoration whims. These are just some of the unforgettable characters in Lanchester's unputdownable masterpiece novel of contemporary urban life.

I was in the hostel waiting around because my gf was sitting an english test there. I found this book and started reading it, and because I liked it I just kept it because I wanted to finish reading it. I guess thats stealing, but I didn't really care. Now I'm reading it while living here in Berlin, and I like it because it's very British. It's the perfect book for a brit to read abroad, because its all about the worst and best bits of British society. It's like having a little slice of my home country in my pocket.
