Through chance, luck and choice, one man s life takes him from a modest apartment in Hungary to the elite society of London in this captivating new novel about the forces that make and break our lives
Fifteen-year-old Istvan lives with his mother in a quiet apartment complex in Hungary. New to the town and shy, he is unfamiliar with the social rituals at school and soon becomes isolated, with his neighbour a married woman close to his mother s age as his only companion.
As these encounters shift into a clandestine relationship, Istvan s life spirals out of control.
Years later, rising through the ranks from the army to the elite circles of London's super-rich, he navigates the twenty-first century's tides of money and power. Torn between love, intimacy, status, and wealth, his newfound riches threaten to undo him completely.
