Albion

Albion shakes the country house novel to its foundations, in a story of family, inheritance and accountability

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF EXPECTATION

The Brooke family are gathering in their eighteenth-century ancestral home - at the heart of a thousand acres of English countryside - to bury Philip- husband, father and the blinding sun around which they have all orbited for as long as they can remember.

They must grapple with their shared grief as well as their shared inheritance. Each of his children is adamant that their father has given them his blessing, and none are willing to back down, as dreams of rewilding the English countryside clash with a vision of a psychedelic haven for the super-rich.

But as they debate the future of the land, a stranger arrives bearing a truth that will fracture all the dreams on which they've built their lives.
