THE TOP TEN BESTSELLER, NOW AN AWARD-WINNING NETFLIX HIT

''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

The award-winning adaptation of Capital is now available on Netflix: a moving, funny, and keenly insightful story of London on the brink of the financial crisis.

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 them is turned upside down by the financial crash. A state-of-the-nation novel told with compassion, humour and unflinching truth, Capital tracks a year in the life of the Pepys Road residents as their lives are changed beyond recognition.

John Lanchester''s book Capital was a Sunday TImes bestseller w/c 19-02-2012
