The debut novel from Joseph O'Neill, author of the Man Booker Prize
longlisted and Richard & Judy pick, ‘Netherland’. James
Jones is slipping steadily through life. He has a steady job as a
junior partner at a solicitor's firm, a steady girlfriend and a
steady mortgage. Nothing much is happening in Jones's life but he
really doesn't mind – this is exactly the way he likes it.
Michael Donovan, meanwhile, is a star – a world-class
international lawyer and advocate – he's everything Jones wanted
to be and isn't. Jones was once Donovan's pupil and, for a while,
it looked like he too would make his name – but he left that
high-powered world behind a long time ago, or so he thought. One
day Jones reads in the paper that Donovan has collapsed in court
– then, out of the blue, Donovan contacts him; he has a job he
needs Jones to work on… Joseph O'Neill's debut is wonderfully
clever and comic novel – about ambitions and aspirations and the
realities that they inevitably collide with.
