From the author of Mayflies, an irresistible, unputdownable, state-of-the-nation novel—the story of one man’s 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 O’Hagan 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.
