SOLD OUT – Andrew O’Hagan – Caledonian Road

Andrew O’Hagan is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and serious chroniclers of our times. Born in Glasgow he has been nominated for the Booker Prize three times and his novels have won him worldwide critical acclaim. Caledonian Road is a sweeping Dickensian portrait of modern Britain in which nobody is let off the hook. Over the course of an incendiary year, a web of crimes, secrets and scandals reveals that privilege is not exempt from shattering exposure. This state of the nation novel exposes an unseemly clash of classes.
