Who could resist London? A place to make a fortune. But the riots and the Occupy demonstrations of the dry summer of 2011 cast their shadow over the lives of four people. Adam gets caught up in it all and his life changes forever. Ileana has come from Romania to earn a living. Damien has already made his fortune, but it hasn't brought him happiness and Lauren is trying to make her living as a photographer in the city. This powerful novel draws you swiftly into the inner lives and emotions of four very different characters and builds to a climax which is both moving and inevitable.
