Each house on Pepys Road, an ordinary street in London, has seen its fair share of first steps and last breaths, and plenty of laughter in between. But each of the street's residents--a rich banker and his shopaholic wife, a soccer prodigy from Senegal, Pakistani shop owners, a dying old woman and her graffiti-artist son--is receiving a menacing postcard with a simple message: "We Want What You Have." Who is behind this? What do they really want? In Capital, John Lanchester ("an elegant and wonderfully witty writer"--New York Times) delivers a warm and compassionate novel that captures the anxieties of our time--property values going up, fortunes going down, a potential terrorist around every corner--with an unforgettable cast of characters.

Review:
Brilliant.--Lizzie Skurnick

Searching, expert, on the money. I loved it.--Joseph O'Neill, author of Netherland

Full of spectacular comedy--and menace.--Ron Charles

Perfect fireside reading that captures the Trollopean 'way we live now' without putting on grand airs.--James Wolcott

Fresh, astutely observed, and a lot of fun.--Sebastian Smee

A big, funny, sure-footed novel...rich in observation and warm in spirit.--Dan Kois

Not only immensely enjoyable but important, too.--Claire Messud, author of The Burning Girl

Lanchester employs a bird's-eye view that sweeps in for dazzling close-ups, then swoops out again, until you see not only the entirety of Pepys Road, but the city, the world--and the economy that's crumbling under the weight of everyone's aspirations.--Laura Lippman

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
Book Description:
From the bestselling author of Whoops!: A post-crash, state-of-the-nation novel told with compassion, humour and truth
