Reviews
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., 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., 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., Like getting a crash course in the transformation of British mores and class distinctions. [A] nuanced portrait of a country in flux., 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., Full of spectacular comedy--and menace. . . . The effect is like one of those cut-away illustrations that show the interior of every room in an apartment complex., 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., Perfect fireside reading that captures the Trollopean 'way we live now' without putting on grand airs., 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., Brimming with perception, humane empathy and relish, its portrayal of this metropolitan miscellany is, in every sense, a capital achievement.

Synopsis
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., 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.
