"A vibrant piece of fiction, pulsating with events and emotions...Seems destined to be read a hundred years from now." â€Martin Rubin, Los Angeles Times\n\nEach 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 residentsâ€a rich banker and his shopaholic wife, a soccer prodigy from Senegal, Pakistani shop owners, a dying old woman and her graffiti-artist sonâ€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"â€New York Times) delivers a warm and compassionate novel that captures the anxieties of our timeâ€property values going up, fortunes going down, a potential terrorist around every cornerâ€with an unforgettable cast of characters.

Review:
"Precise, humane and often hilarious, John Lanchester's Capital""teems with life. Its Dickensian sweep and its clear-eyed portrayal of the end of a strange era make this novel not only immensely enjoyable, but important, too." --Claire Messud "Strikingly original..." --"The Guardian" "Lanchester makes us care deeply about his imperiled characters....A remarkably vibrant and engrossing novel about what we truly value." --"Booklist" "Capital""[is] 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." --Colm Toibin
Book Description:
From the bestselling author of Whoops!: A post-crash, state-of-the-nation novel told with compassion, humour and truth
