The anatomy of a nation: the search for the soul of post-Brexit Britain

The new novel about home, belonging, love, courage and identity, set in the fourteenth century, from the Booker-longlisted author of The People's Act of Love

O manželství, lásce, dětech, smrti, věrnosti, zradě, hledání věčného mládí, pokrytectví a především o tom, co to znamená být dobrým člověkem. Sourozenci, kteří si v ničem nejsou podobní: Ritchie – bohatý a ze svého pohledu šťastně ženatý a milující muž ve skutečnosti sice v roli manžela, otce i bratra morálně selhává, přesto se mu daří své chování podle potřeby racionalizovat a ani ho nenapadne, že by snad nebyl v podstatě dobrým člověkem. Přitom je zřejmé, že je to slaboch, který nikdy neodolá čokoládovému pudinku a dvojité whisky, natož nymfičkám pod zákonem. Jeho cesta od bouřlivácké rockové hvězdy k televiznímu producentovi načančané reality show je lemovaná podvody a mimomanželskými vztahy. Bec – mladší sestra, se snaží i za cenu vlastního sebezničení objevit vakcínu proti malárii, žije si po svém, na společenské konvence a pokryteckou morálku kašle, přesto se snaží žít eticky. A katalyzátor příběhu – Val, bývalý přítel Bec, psychopat, fanatik, majitel „Žumpy“ – bulváru, který vytahuje špínu na známé osobnosti, které se nevykoupí tím, že mu poskytnou špinavé pikantnosti o někom jiném. V jeho osidlech uvázne záletný Ritchie. Jak daleko bude ochoten zajít, aby si zachránil svou vlastní kůži?

The book delves into the privatization of essential British services and infrastructure over the past thirty years, revealing the human impact of these changes. Through compelling portraits and narratives, it illustrates how public assets have been transferred to private owners, leading to rising costs for consumers while the new owners profit. Meek's urgent and poignant exploration serves as a critical examination of the nation's transformation, appealing to those interested in social and economic issues.

Reality-show producer and habitual liar Ritchie Shepherd can't stand his sister Bec's relentless honesty, while Bec helps a gene-therapy researcher build a family of his own, even as her ex-fiancé Val, a tabloid editor, plots to destroy Bec by exposing people close to her

From the bestselling author of The People's Act of Love

The Museum of Doubt is a new collection of surreal and unnerving short stories from award-winning writer James Meek. The array of characters who populate Meek's vague and elusive worlds are driven by paranoia and doubts, as well as hopes and fears of things only half-glimpsed.

Set in a time of great social upheaval, warfare, and terrorism, and against a stark, lawless Siberia at the end of the Russian Revolution, The People’s Act of Love portrays the fragile coexistence of a beautiful, independent mother raising her son alone, a megalomaniac Czech captain and his restless regiment, and a mystical separatist Christian sect. When a mysterious, charismatic stranger trudges into their snowy village with a frighteningly outlandish story to tell, its balance is shaken to the core.
