"It has been said that there is a class of people who feel entitled to smash up things and creatures and then retreat back into their money. As certainly as that is still true...it is now a new aristocracy of bankers, lawyers and CEO's who imagine they turn the levers of the world. Their whims are the highest law, consequences fall where they may for the great mass of people who don't matter." Such are the thoughts of burnt out San Francisco banking lawyer, Michael Davis, who, having become the man he always swore he never would be, is teetering on the brink of emotional collapse. Atlanta Buchanan, who is questioning everything she thought she knew, sees in Michael something of herself. Her husband, Henry Buchanan, a proud one percenter, is unaware that everything he works so hard to keep under control is about to be upended. America in the beginning of the new century is very much like America in the beginning of the last: a place of profound social and economic inequities. However, into the America of this century wafts the scent of revolution. This novel chronicles one fateful year in the lives of these people as they struggle to make hard choices in a time when ideas once considered dangerous and people once marginalized are moving in to colonize a center that cannot hold. A furious, modern riff on The Great Gatsby, A.Z. Zehava's novel is a fierce story about a quiet insurgency happening in an America in transition.
