The Group
What would you do to be one of them?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO BE ONE OF THEM? The Group is a searing hot summer read about the temptation of privilege and class for fans of Saltburn.
'A stunningly written (and translated) story about greed, fraud, hedonism and identity. The story hooks you in with its languid prose . . . Compelling.' - Reader, Netgalley
'Feels a lot like Donna Tart . . . a page turner and captivating from the start' - Reader, Goodreads
'A combination of craftsmanship and artistic ambition ... bingeable' - Expressen
HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO BECOME ONE OF THEM?When Hanna moves to Spain for an internship at the prestigious Prado gallery, she finds herself spending her days buried in the museum's stifling archives, and her nights alone in a tiny rented flat.
Then one day she sees them; Tom, Samuel, and Leah. Glamorous and elegant, they are also foreigners in the city. But unlike her, they are fabulously wealthy, their lives an endless whirl of creativity and hedonism. And when Hanna discovers an uncatalogued 17th-century etching in the archive, she makes a decision which changes everything.
From the sultry streets of Madrid to the gleaming world of Mediterranean luxury villas and exclusive art world parties, as Hanna gets closer to her deepest desire, the stakes mount ever higher. Intoxicating and unputdownable, The Group is a timeless story of hidden identity and obsession.
Translated by Rachel Willson-Broyles.
