WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE 2025 'Brilliant and wise on chance, love, sex, money' David Nicholls 'Anyone can pick up Flesh and appreciate it' Jennette McCurdy 'Brilliance on every page' Samantha Harvey 'So much searing insight into the way we live now' Observer Through chance, luck and choice, one man's life takes him from a modest apartment in Hungary to the elite society of London - in this captivating new novel about the forces that make and break our lives Fifteen-year-old István lives with his mother in a quiet apartment complex in Hungary. New to the town and shy, he becomes isolated, with his neighbour - a married woman - as his only companion. When a clandestine relationship begins between them, his life spirals out of control. As the years pass, István moves from the army to the circles of London's elite. His competing impulses for love, intimacy, status and wealth win him unimaginable riches, until they threaten to undo him completely. 'Anyone can pick up [Flesh] and appreciate it. I was tearing through that book, I never once slowed down. Every move was surprising, I couldn't predict where it was going next. Different phases of [István's] life, but woven together so beautifully' Jeanette McCurdy 'An astonishingly moving portrait of a man's life' Booker Prize Judges, 2025 'A revelatory novel' Sunday Times 'Pure brilliance from the first to the (devastating) last sentence' India Knight 'Refreshing, illuminating and true' Financial Times 'One of the most astonishing books I've ever read' Dua Lipa 'Hugely entertaining, gripping like a thriller' The Times 'Visceral and compelling' Gary Stevenson 'Exciting, propulsive, emotional' Sarah Jessica Parker *A BOOK OF THE YEAR for the Guardian, Observer, Financial Times, Sunday Times, Independent, GQ and Daily Telegraph*
