Hi all
My book choice for reading in March and discussing in April is "This
bleeding city" by Alex Preston.
I will send the book in a moment, but this is what Amazon hass to say about
it.
Charlie Wales is a young man who wants everything. Fresh from University,
he's seduced by the excitement of a new life in London and all that it
promises. There's Vero, the beautiful French girl who might finally fall for
him. There's the lure of art, but also the promise of fast money in the
City. And his friends, who are spiralling into a world of non-stop parties
and unchecked greed. But as the choices begin to tear him apart, there's
also the danger that all the things he desires are on the brink of crashing
around him ...
This debut novel, written by a 30-year-old trader, does not merely pick over
the carcass of the financial markets in the wake of the recent crash. It is
also a heartbreaking love story, a withering study of the years of excess,
and a timely reminder of how good people end up doing terrible things.
