Nominated for the Man Booker Prize, Derby Day can be an exquisite story of love and rivalry, playing and greed, from one of England's finest freelance writers. As the shadows lengthen in the June grass, all of England is at risk of Epsom Downs - highlife and lowlife, modern culture beauties and Whitechapel street girls, bookmakers and Gypsies, hawkers and thieves. Hopes are high, nerves are taut, hats are tossed in the air - this is Derby Day. For calendar months people have been longing and plotting for this day. Everyone's sight are on champ horse Tiberius, on whose performance six destinies depend. In this wealthy and exuberant novel, rife with the idioms of Victorian Great britain, the mysteries pile high, propelling us toward your day of the fantastic race, and we wait around with bated breathing as the story gallops to a end that nobody expects.
