Orlando King is a trilogy about a beautiful young man, raised in a
remote and eccentric wilderness, arriving in 1930s London and
setting the world of politics ablaze. In a time of bread riots and
hunger marches, with the spectre of Fascism casting an ever
lengthening shadow over Europe, Orlando glidingly cuts a swathe
through the thickets of business, the corridors of politics, the
pleasure gardens of the Cliveden set, acquiring wealth, adulation,
a beautiful wife, and a seat in Parliament. But the advent of war
brings with it Orlando's downfall; and his daughter Agatha,
cloistered with him in his banishment, is left to pick through the
rubble of his smoking, ruined legacy.
Elegant and muscular,
powerful and razor-sharp, Orlando King is a bildungsroman, Greek
tragedy and political saga all in one; a glittering exorcism of the
inter-war generation's demons to rival the work of Evelyn Waugh and
Muriel Spark.
