Summary
**WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE 2025**

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 István lives with his mother in a quiet apartment complex in Hungary. New to the town and shy, he becomes isolated, with his neighbour – a married woman – as his only companion. When a clandestine relationship begins between them, his life spirals out of control.

As the years pass, István moves from the army to the circles of London’s elite. His competing impulses for love, intimacy, status and wealth win him unimaginable riches, until they threaten to undo him completely.

The book was interesting but I did find myself annoyed by the protagonists lack of agency in every aspect of his life. Which is assume is the point the author is making. Perhaps it is not perfectly suited as an audiobook as there are lots of time jumps which are not clearly signalled. So a bit confusing at times.

For me, a perfect book. Not a wasted word, yet it seemed I knew worlds about the characters. Gut-wrenching, sad, believable, distinctive. Cant wait to read more of the author's work.

Profile Avatar Jurgita Ziabkinaite Nov 2025

The beginning of the book was a bit slow and kind of repetitive, but then it unfolded into a very interesting and captivating story. I enjoyed listening to it very much.
