Despre această carte electronică
A darkly comic novel about a rich family on the edge of ruin, by the author of the Booker-shortlisted In Every Face I Meet and Richard & Judy selection The Promise of Happiness.
'Other People's Money is wise, droll and beautiful fiction' David Mitchell
'What a great read this is. Cartwright assembles a wonderful cast of characters in this masterpiece of a comic novel' Observer
'A high-class piece of literary entertainment' Spectator
The Trevelyan family is in grave trouble.
Their private bank of Tubal & Co. is on the verge of collapsing. It's not the first time in its three-hundred-and-forty year history, but it may be the last.
A sale is under way, and a number of important facts need to be kept hidden, not only from the public, but also from Julian Trevelyan-Tubal's deeply traditional father, Sir Harry, who is incapacitated in the family villa in Antibes.
Great families, great fortunes and even greater secrets collide in this gripping, satirical and acutely observed story of our time.
