'One of the most exciting new novels' FINANCIAL TIMES'Very funny... Its deeply felt pages flew by' GUARDIAN'Sexy, compassionate, uncommonly imaginative: I've never read anything quite like it' Oisin McKenna, author of Evenings and WeekendsLondon, 2014. Hal Lancaster - twenty-two, gay, Catholic, chops lines of cocaine with his myWaitrose card - is the reluctant heir of his father Henry, the sixteenth Duke of Lancaster. Henry is half tyrant, half martyr, with an investment in his eldest son that has grown into an obsession. While Hal floats between internships and drinking sessions, Henry keeps him in check with passive-aggression, religious guilt, and a cruelty that Hal sometimes confuses for tenderness.When a grouse shooting accident - funny in retrospect - makes a romance out of Hal's rivalry with fumblingly leftist family friend Harry Percy, Hal finds that he wants, for the first time, a life of his own. But his father Henry is an Englishman: he will not let his son escape tradition. To save himself, Hal must reckon not only with grief and shame but with the wounds of his family's past.'Deeply enjoyable' Julia Armfield, author of Our Wives Under the Sea'Thrillingly imaginative' Kaliane Bradley, author of The Ministry of Time

Thomas har en gul skjorta och blå byxor. Han har också en mobiltelefon som är smart. Och en liten bil. Det är en röd liten bil. Faktum är att Thomas har massor av saker. De går att använda i en mängd olika situationer, och ibland också samtidigt. Till slut blir Thomas trött. Vilken tur att han har en soffa att ta en tupplur i!
