**New York Times bestseller** 'One of the most vivid and convincing portraits of contemporary America I've read' Observer When powerful real-estate tycoon Nero Golden immigrates to the States under mysterious circumstances, he and his three adult children assume new identities, taking 'Roman' names, and move into a grand mansion in downtown Manhattan. Arriving shortly after the inauguration of Barack Obama, he and his sons, each extraordinary in his own right, quickly establish themselves at the apex of New York society. The story of the Golden family is told from the point of view of their Manhattanite neighbour and confidant, Ren, an aspiring filmmaker who finds in the Goldens the perfect subject. Ren chronicles the undoing of the house of Golden: the high life of money, of art and fashion, a sibling quarrel, an unexpected metamorphosis, the arrival of a beautiful woman, betrayal and murder, and far away, in their abandoned homeland, some decent intelligence work. In a new world order of alternative truths, Salman Rushdie has written the ultimate novel about identity, truth, terror and lies. A brilliant, heart-breaking realist novel that is not only uncannily prescient but shows one of the world's greatest storytellers working at the height of his powers.

Its one of the most vivid and convincing portraits of contemporary America Ive read. -- Alex Preston * Observer, Book of the Year * [A] complex and witty fable Rushdie has always been an impish myth-manipulator, refusing to accept, as in this novel, that the lives of the emperors cant be blended with film noir, popular culture and crime caper. On the evidence of The Golden House, he is quite right. -- Alex Clark * Observer * Unruly but exuberant Much of the success of The Golden House, in fact, lies in its humour and in the vigour of its storytelling There is a glowing energy to the prose that makes this Rushdies most enjoyable, mischievous and American of novels. -- Arifa Akbar * Financial Times * Intelligent and darkly funny...with a raw political edge. -- Robert Douglas-Fairhurst * The Times * Rushdie writes with a Dickensian exuberance, always full of humour as well as striking scornful, tragic notes. Often he plays the role of satirist. His caricatures and outsize figures are full of life, wickedness and human energy: again, as in Dickens, grounded in a precise social and political scene. -- Jereme Boyd Maunsell * Evening Standard *
