Reviews
"[Atkinson] takes on London in the 1920s, masterfully capturing both its shimmer and its seediness...It's a deliciously fun, absorbing read." -- Time "Like all of Atkinson's novels, her latest defies easy categorization. It's historical fiction, but there's a sense of knowingness that feels contemporary...The adjective Dickensianfeels too clichéd to be meaningful, but Atkinson does excel at creating a big, bustling universe fully inhabited by vivid characters...Already one of the best writers working, Atkinson just gets better and better." -- Kirkus (starred review) "[A] glittering foray into London's post-WWI Soho...Atkinson's incisive prose and byzantine narrative elegantly excavate the deceit, depravity, and destruction of Nellie's world. She also turns this rich historical into a sophisticated cat-and-mouse tale as the various actors try to move in on Nellie's turf. Atkinson is writing at the top of her game." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "[A] riveting re-creation of life in 1920s London...Atkinson's palpable fondness for her characters helps her to imbue even themost minor of them with texture and depth, and she brings the same attention to detail to her portrait of the highs and lows of Jazz Age London. Another triumph from one of our finest novelists." -- Booklist (starred review) "A rich cast of characters, an elegantly intricate plot--this is classic Atkinson." -- The Guardian, "Like all of Atkinson's novels, her latest defies easy categorization.

Atkinson is writing at the top of her game." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), "There is the perfect balance throughout of sweetness and heartbreak. And, as always, there is the unmistakable zest of Ms. Atkinson's dry wit...Ms. Atkinson has perfected the comicwizardry that keeps us both airborne and immersed in her mosaic-like narratives." -- The Wall Street Journal "[Atkinson] takes on London in the 1920s, masterfully capturing both its shimmer and its seediness...It's a deliciously fun, absorbing read." -- Time "Like all of Atkinson's novels, her latest defies easy categorization.

You don't so much read it as surrender to it, and you sense--and share--the relish with which she creates such an attention-grabbing cast. It's an exhilarating ride." -- Financial Times, "[Atkinson] takes on London in the 1920s, masterfully capturing both its shimmer and its seediness...It's a deliciously fun, absorbing read." -- Time "Like all of Atkinson's novels, her latest defies easy categorization.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The award-winning author of Life after Life transports us to a restless London in the wake of the Great War--a city bursting with money, glamour, and corruption--in this spellbinding tale of seduction and betrayal. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: WASHINGTON POST, TIME, THE GUARDIAN, BOOKLIST "Set during Jazz Age London, in all its fizzy madness and desperation.... As dark as [Atkinson's] stories can get, within them always shines a beacon of humanity." -- Gillian Flynn, bestselling author of Dark Places 1926, and in a country still recovering from the Great War, London has become the focus for a delirious new nightlife. In the clubs of Soho, peers of the realm rub shoulders with starlets, foreign dignitaries with gangsters, and girls sell dances for a shilling a time. The notorious queen of this glittering world is Nellie Coker, ruthless but also ambitious to advance her six children, including the enigmatic eldest, Niven, whose character has been forged in the crucible of the Somme. But success breeds enemies, and Nellie's empire faces threats from without and within. For beneath the dazzle of Soho's gaiety, there is a dark underbelly, a world in which it is all too easy to become lost. With her unique Dickensian flair, Kate Atkinson gives us a window in a vanished world. Slyly funny, brilliantly observant, and ingeniously plotted, Shrines of Gaiety showcases the myriad talents that have made Atkinson one of the most lauded writers of our time., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The award-winning author of Life after Life transports us to a restless London in the wake of the Great War--a city bursting with money, glamour, and corruption--in this spellbinding tale of seduction and betrayal.
