This bestselling book was very more-ish. It was at the same time kind of forgettable. It was like a nice glass of water on a hot day. Or perhaps I just think that because I read it in a really hot country during a heatwave.
It is about a family of very wealthy people, and was an interesting window into what your problems are once the money one is solved. Boo-hoo, etc. One thing that did surprise me was the idea that employment in banking is heavily dependent on pedigree. In my experience, it seems to be a lot more meritocratic than that, and mostly dependent on hard slog. I was also struck, once again, by how much some people, especially thin people, seem to worry about their weight.
But that’s about all I have to say. I did read it in a single day though, so I must have enjoyed it
