FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF THE REST OF OUR LIVES A SUNDAY TIMES TOP 100 NOVEL OF THE 21ST CENTURY WINNER OF THE JAMES TAIT BLACK MEMORIAL PRIZE Ten years out of Yale and drifting, Greg Marnier heads for his college reunion. There he bumps into an old friend, Robert James, now influential and wealthy from dotcom success. He has a plan: to buy up several abandoned neighbourhoods in Detroit and build a new America from their ruins. But for every urban misfit who's come for a fresh start, there's a native Detroiter whose patch is being swallowed up by these new young colonials. 'Intense and very funny.' Guardian, 'Best Novels of 2015' 'Is Markovits contemporary fiction's best kept secret?' Independent on Sunday 'Remarkable.' Irish Independent 'Multi-stranded and gripping.' Sunday Times
