The exhilarating new novel from the author of Leave the World Behind – ‘the book of an era’ (Independent)‘These characters, their money, and their morality come together in an absolutely devastating thunderclap’ KILEY REID, bestselling author of Come and Get ItMoney talks. But what if it lies?
An ambitious young woman, plotting her way into the world of the one percent.
An old white billionaire, facing his own extinction.

She’s drawn to his power and money – and his apparent willingness to share both with her.
But how far is each prepared to go to get what they think they deserve?
Taut, unsettling, and alive to the seductive distortions of money, Entitlement is a biting tale for our new gilded age.
