He always knew: when his life came tumbling down, it would occur in public.

Campbell Flynn is fuelled by an appetite for wealth and admiration, controversy and novelty. An art historian and celebrity pundit, he has enjoyed a charmed career rubbing shoulders with oligarchs and aristocrats, fashion designers and fine artists, at ease with the highbrow and the mainstream.

Only now, the world is changing. Over the course of an incendiary year a web of secrets and crimes will be revealed, and Campbell Flynn may not be able to protect himself from the shattering exposure of all his privilege really involves.

Andrew O’Hagan’s novel Caledonian Road was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 31/03/2024

Critic Reviews

This is the kind of book that grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go ... O’Hagan captures London in all its messy, multicultural glory.

Critic Reviews

Where are all the great twenty-first-century state-of-the-nation novels? Step forward Andrew O’Hagan.

The Times

Critic Reviews

A remarkable feat of imaginative empathy, panoramic and witty, a Dickensian dream that blazes with profundity and philosophical inquiry. It is O’Hagan’s best novel yet.

Nikita Lawlani

Critic Reviews

Completely contemporary yet as full of characters, plotlines and morality tales as a Victorian novel ... simultaneously funny and savage ... O'Hagan's prose sparkles with verve and conviction.

Herald

Critic Reviews

Addictively enjoyable ... a bold, bullish tale of hubris and corruption, a book simultaneously dazzled and disgusted by the city it depicts.

Guardian

Critic Reviews

A brilliant state-of-the-nation novel that pulls down the facades of high society, and knocks over the ‘good liberal’ house-of-cards. O’Hagan is not only a peerless chronicler of our times, but has other gifts – of generosity, humour and tenderness – which make this novel an utter joy to read.
