Description
John Maynard Keynes' life was marked by controversy and intellectual fervour. In the aftermath of the war, he walked away from the Paris Peace Conference, seemingly destined for obscurity. Yet, in the tumultuous 1920s, he found himself back in the public eye. A man of fierce intelligence, Keynes was not afraid to speak truth to power, even if it meant challenging the powerful. His life was a complex web of personal and political certainties, where the very future of capitalism hung in the balance. In this novel, the true story of John Maynard Keynes is brought to life. Ground-breaking economist, intellectual, and government adviser, Keynes was a figure of great significance in the 20th century. This book combines his story with that of a young ballerina, Lydia Lopokova, who finds herself drawn into his world. Set against the backdrop of a world in crisis, the novel explores themes of money, power, and the forbidden world of 1920s London. Longlisted for the Peggy Chapman-Andrews First Novel Award, this is a unique and compelling tale that sheds new light on one of the 20th century's most remarkable figures.
