Caledonian Road
Caledonian Road: A Novel | Andrew O'Hagan
2 posts | 1 read | 10 to read
From the author of Mayflies, an irresistible, unputdownable, state-of-the-nation novelthe story of one mans epic fall from grace. Campbell Flynn, art historian and biographer of Vermeer, always knew that when his life came crashing down, it would happen in public?yet he never imagined that a single year in London would expose so much. Entangled with a brilliant student, he begins to see trouble brewing for his family and friends. All his worlds collide?the art scene and academia, fashion and the English aristocracy, journalism and the internet?as dangerous forces enter his life and Caledonian Road gives up its secrets. Andrew OHagan has written a social novel in the Victorian style, drawing a whole cast of characters into company with each other and revealing the inner energies of the way we live now.

Pickpick

A sprawling saga of modern London that exposes the web of relationships at the intersection of aristocracy, politics, celebrity & business that facilitate & cover up corruption, abuse & bigotry. Meanwhile, for many outside that sphere, their social & family connections are more likely to endanger than empower them. There‘s a lot to think about, a lot to Spark anger at the inequality & injustice, but it‘s also frequently funny. I loved it.
