Set in London, it brings together an intriguing cast of characters whose lives apparently run on parallel lines but — as it gradually becomes clear — are intricately related. The central anti-hero, John Veals, is a shadily successful and boundlessly ambitious Dickensian character who is trading billions. The tentacles of Veals’ influence encompass newspaper columnists, MPs, businessmen, footballers, a female tube driver, a Scottish convert to Islam, a disaffected teenager, and a care worker, whose different perspectives build up a tale of love, family and money as the story builds to its powerful climax.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fiction","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46207889637588,"sku":"","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/2431\/3812\/files\/51KSnkFlGNL.jpg?v=1744279310","url":"https:\/\/bluebooks.ae\/products\/a-week-in-december","provider":"Blue Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
