About Flesh:


Through chance, luck and choice, one man’s life takes him from a modest apartment in Hungary to the elite society of London…
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.

*Please note our book clubs are monthly discussions of popular titles and the author will not be present
