John Lanchester on Look What You Made Me Do

'An absolute riot . . . totally compulsive.' Observer

From the bestselling author of Capital comes this blackly funny page-turner

What if the year's most talked about TV show was all about your marriage?
Kate, thirty years into her marriage, has a seemingly idyllic metropolitan, North London life.
Phoebe, a young screenwriter, is the creator of the year's hit TV show, Cheating.
When Kate's world takes a darker turn, she thinks she sees details and intimacies in the show that only she and her husband Jack could possibly have known. But who has betrayed who? Who gets to tell whose story?
A black comedy of resentment and entitlement, Look What You Made Me Do is the story of two very different women from two very different generations, heading toward a battle only one of them can win.
