Winner of the 2025 Booker Prize, this novel follows the life of István, a shy Hungarian teenager whose world is forever altered by a clandestine relationship with an older, married neighbor. As the decades pass, István’s journey takes him from the army to the elite circles of London’s super-rich. It is a raw, visceral study of the forces that shape a human life—chance, sex, money, and power—and the profound isolation that can remain even after achieving unimaginable wealth.
