Description:
This is an intelligent and entertaining account of our grubby, uncertain, fragmented London society that has almost replaced religion with shopping. Read it.' - Claire Tomalin, Observer
'Brimming with perception, humane empathy and relish, its portrayal of this metropolitan miscellany is, in every sense, a capital achievement.' - Peter Kemp, Sunday Times
'John Lanchester's pacy novel Capital perfectly captures the zeitgeist of London on the cusp of the crash and after the mad house prices, the egregious bankers and their wives, the Polish builders, Zimbabwean parking attendants, vapid conceptual artists and wannabe jihadis.' - Andrew Neather, The Standard, Books of the Year
'John Lanchester packed a city's worth of modern archetypes - bankers to builders to asylum-seekers - into the single gentrified street of Capital: a metropolitan meltdown saga.' - Boyd Tonkin, The Independent, Books of the Year
'Why was John Lanchester's Capital not Booker-listed? It is a splendidly capacious novel that subsumes London life of today into a single street and the fates of its residents over a year or so, their diversity nicely reflecting the cosmopolitan city ... A dozen different stories, all equally persuasive and absorbing.' - Penelope Lively, The Spectator Books of the Year.
'Unfurling a lively social panorama of London as the economic meltdown begins, Lanchester takes you (with a keen expansiveness and eye for telling detail reminiscent of 19th-century condition-of-England novels) into the minds and circumstances of a colourful diversity of characters ... Smartly informed about both money and the metropolis, Capital is suavely satiric and warmly humane.' - Peter Kemp, Sunday Times Books of the Year.

Reviews from Amazon:
The author describes different people, situations and families and he manages to so accurately capture the thinking and imagination that inhabits a cross-section of people. Its the best book about London, living in London, that I have ever read.
----------
I've started so many books recently and put them down that it was a pleasure to read one that grabbed me from the first page. The book is in the marvellous tradition of telling a story of a bit larger than life characters (all totally plausible if stereotypes)from different cultural backgrounds ultimately bringing their lives together as the financial world implodes. A capital read.
