Will I love Capital?

As relevant now as it was 10 years ago, this is a wonderful fictional tale of a street in London.

You can get lost in the characters of Pepys Road but underlying it is a morality tale of money and greed in London.

I found I couldn’t put it down the first time or the second; it is a Dickens of our time novel. 

This book follows a year in the lives of the occupants of a London street and the people who work for them. The guaranteed wealth of those who are lucky enough to own houses in the street – where property prices have soared – is contrasted with the struggles of those who keep the lives of the homeowners on track: the Polish builder, the Hungarian nanny, the Kamal family who run the shop at the end of the road. This is a moral fable about money, but it’s also a witty, perceptive story that gallops along and is hard to… show more.
