HTML:<p><b>From the author of the bestselling <i>Birdsong</i> comes a powerful novel that melds the moral heft of Dickens and the scrupulous realism of Trollope with the satirical spirit of Tom Wolfe.</b><br /> <br /> London: the week before Christmas, 2007. Over seven days we follow the lives of seven major characters: a hedge fund manager trying to bring off the biggest trade of his career; a professional footballer recently arrived from Poland; a young lawyer with little work and too much time to speculate; a student who has been led astray by Islamist theory; a hack book reviewer; a schoolboy hooked on reality TV and genetically altered pot; and a Tube train driver whose Circle Line train joins these and countless other lives together in a daily loop.<br /> <br /> With daring skill and savage humor, <i>A Week in December</i> explores the complex patterns and crossings of modern urban life; as the novel moves to its gripping climax, its characters are forced, one by one, to confront the true nature of the world they--and we all--inhabit.<br /> <br /> <br /> <i>From the Hardcover edition.</i></p>. HTML:<p>"The novel is unequivocally successful [as a] narrative . . . Readers will race through the pages like banks through cash."</p>. HTML:<i>The Guardian</i>. Non-English Fiction. Fiction.
