Why read it?

A creative and contemporary reimagining of King Lear, St Aubyn is as funny, biting, and devastating here as in his Patrick Melrose trilogy.
Even though we all know the plot, the story of media mogul Henry Dunbar is darkly entertaining and, at times, reads like a thriller as he navigates the web woven by his two corrupt daughters.
This novel is part of the Hogarth Shakespeare series, which enlisted well-known authors to retell the works of Shakespeare. Dunbar made me want to read them all.
