"A remarkable creation. . . . Truly moving. . . . richly human novel [and a] grand portrait of a city." --The Washington Post
"Ambitious, entertaining, and often scathingly angry." --The New York Times Book Review "A Week in December is a formally ambitious, intelligently entertaining, rather provocative novel of contemporary manners." --Los Angeles Times "Reflects the tumultuous present with both humor and a scathing sensibility. . . . This, at its heart, is fiction about folks, and it's darned compelling." --The Denver Post "Vigorous, authentic and often hilarious. . . . Clever and convincing." --Chicago Tribune "The ultimate urban novel. . . . A blistering social document." --Seattle TimesIn the blustery final days of 2007, seven characters will reach an unexpected turning point: a hedge fund manager pulling off a trade, a professional football player recently arrived from Poland, a young lawyer with too much time on his hands, a student led astray by Islamist theory, a hack book reviewer, a schoolboy hooked on pot and reality TV, and a Tube train driver whose Circle Line train joins these lives in a daily loop. And as the novel moves to its gripping climax, they are forced, one by one, to confront the new world they inhabit.
Panoramic and masterful, A Week in December melds moral heft and piercing wit, holding a mirror up to the complex patterns and crossings of modern urban life.
