From the bestselling author of Leave the World Behind – ‘the book of an era’ (Independent) – a biting tale for our new gilded age
‘A slow-burn tale of connivance and deceit with a knockout ending’ OBSERVER
Money talks. But what if it lies?
An ambitious young Black woman, plotting her way into the world of the one percent. An old white billionaire, facing his own extinction.
He’s attracted to her intelligence, her refusal to be deferential, maybe also her Blackness. She’s drawn to his power and money – and his apparent willingness to share both with her.
But how far is each prepared to go to get what they think they deserve?
Rumaan Alam is the critically acclaimed and bestselling author of the novels Rich and Pretty, That Kind of Mother and Leave the World Behind, which was an international bestseller, a finalist for the National Book Award and the Orwell Prize, and adapted for a major motion picture in 2023 starring Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke and Mahershala Ali. Alam’s writing has appeared in the New York Times, New York Magazine, New Yorker, New York Review of Books, Bookforum and New Republic, where he is a contributing editor. He studied writing at Oberlin College and lives in New York with his family.
