Summary:

" Set in and around Caledonian Road in north London, this masterful novel introduces us to Campbell Flynn, a successful art historian, who becomes friends with a young activist and hacker, Milo Mangasha. In the meantime, he publishes a self-help book on masculinity, under a pseduonym, and the young actor who is hired to represent him gets cancelled when he starts injecting his own views into the project. Set in the post-Brexit, post-Covid, post #Me-Too era, in a city awash in Russian money, Caledonian Road is a sweeping critique of classism and explores the clash and unravelling of entire worlds. This is a sharp portrait of British high society and wealth, human trafficking, Russian corruption, greed in high fashion and art, and increasing global inequity."-- Provided by publisher.
