An enjoyable, sharp-witted and at times knowingly melodramatic novel, it lives up to the promise of its title' Financial Times 'I loved the The Lie of the Land. A panoramic, superbly-plotted novel about the ways we live now, about money and desire, cruelty and generosity, crime and vengeance, country and city. Craig is at the top of her game' Helen Dunmore There is much to relish here. The sharp characters, the smooth grown-up prose, the irony, and the ability to weave warmth and dark honesty like few other novelists can. A very good read indeed' Matt Haig
