Product description
2050, London: apart from the narrow elite, society is divided into three strata based on consumption, and everyone must work, earn and spend enough to earn their right to housing. And when someone no longer spends his money, he is classified as a non-profit person and must retire to some luxurious House of Dignity, where first nine wonderful months await him, then peaceful euthanasia.
After the architect Philip disappears one day along with the savings in his bank account, his wife Alice finds herself at risk of losing the home she thought was secure and her right to housing. The woman sets out to find out what happened, and during her investigation she learns the terrible truth not only about the fate of her own family, but also about the reality behind the new social order.
The debut novel by the author, who was born in Hungary but lives in England, offers a thought-provoking depiction of a distorted consumer society, a dystopia that critics have described as Ishiguro's Don't Let Go! are similar to his book.
