Caledonian Road

 by Andrew O'Hagan

A long novel set in London in the early 2020's it tells the story of Campbell Flynn a celebrity art historian and his family over the course of a year in which Campbell and those close to him slowly unravel as they face up to the new realities of the age we live in. While it kept me hooked the story never really got going for me with the characters almost walking cartoon like out of current news stories. They were interesting but never became totally real. 6/10
