Review
“Not only immensely enjoyable but important, too.”
- Claire Messud, author of The Burning Girl
“Lanchester [is] a brainy, pleasure-loving polymath [and] reading Capital is like getting a crash course in the transformation of British mores and class distinctions.”
- Liesl Schillinger, New York Times Book Review
“Full of spectacular comedy―and menace.”
- Ron Charles, Washington Post
“Perfect fireside reading that captures the Trollopean ‘way we live now’ without putting on grand airs.”
- James Wolcott, Vanity Fair
“Brilliant.”
- Lizzie Skurnick, NPR Books
“Searching, expert, on the money. I loved it.”
- Joseph O’Neill, author of Netherland
“Capital comes in a great tradition of novels which are 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, author of Brooklyn
“Fresh, astutely observed, and a lot of fun.”
- Sebastian Smee, Boston Globe
“A big, funny, sure-footed novel...rich in observation and warm in spirit.”
- Dan Kois, Slate
“As enrapturing as it is psychologically acute...Capital portrays an authentic slice of contemporary life on the eve of change in a way that recalls Franzen―with a welcome touch of wry humor.”
- Trisha Ping, Bookpage

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. ** From the author of The Wall ** 'Effortlessly brilliant . . . hugely moving and outrageously funny.' Observer 'A treat to read.' The Times 'The great London novel of the twenty-first century.' New Statesman 'Brimming with perception, humane empathy and relish . . . a capital achievement.' Sunday Times A moving, funny and insightful story of one London street, its inhabitants, and a world-changing event. The residents of Pepys Road, London - a banker and his shopaholic wife, an elderly woman dying of a brain tumour, the Pakistani family who run the local shop, the young football star from Senegal and his minder - all receive anonymous postcards with a simple message: We Want What You Have. Who is behind it? What do they want? As the mystery of the postcards deepens, the world around Pepys Road is turned upside down by the financial crash and all of its residents' lives change beyond recognition over the course of the next year. From the bestselling author of Whoops! and How to Speak Money comes a post-financial crisis, state-of-the-nation novel told with compassion, humour and unflinching truth. Adapted into a major BBC One drama. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
