The exhilarating new novel from the author of Leave the World Behind - ?the book of an era' (Independent) ?Expertly observed' GUARDIAN ?A slow-burn tale of connivance and deceit with a knockout ending' OBSERVER ?An engrossing exploration of the pitfalls of privilege and philanthropy' SPECTATOR Money talks. But what if it lies? An ambitious young Black woman, plotting her way into the world of the one percent. An old white billionaire, facing his own extinction. He's attracted to her intelligence, her refusal to be deferential, maybe also her Blackness. She's drawn to his power and money - and his apparent willingness to share both with her. But how far is each prepared to go to get what they think they deserve? Taut, unsettling, and alive to the seductive distortions of money, Entitlement is a biting tale for our new gilded age. *A GUARDIAN HIGHLIGHT FOR 2024*

Rezensionen
Alam is scathingly funny ... Entitlement invites comparison to Edith Warton's House of Mirth and Sylvia Plath's Bell Jar ...Books of this calibre transcend personal experience. I barrelled through – propelled by its wit and unshakeable dread – and promptly read it again. Only then could I luxuriate in its tautness. Mundane conversations distil into dazzling singsong and the whole is expertly held together by its narrator's sly interjections. Its stylishness belies discipline, for not a word is wasted. Like New York, it will linger despite its apparently cavalier air
