Other People's Money (Paperback)

Other People's Money is wise, droll and beautiful fiction - David Mitchell

What a great read this is. Cartwright assembles a wonderful cast of characters in this masterpiece of a comic novel - Observer

A high-class piece of literary entertainment - Spectator

Urgently topical fiction with its finger on the pulse of earth-shaking events ... Cartwright¹s fiction has an uncanny habit of catching the zeitgeist in nets of fine-meshed tragi-comic steel - Independent

Cartwright's novel displays, with triumphant accomplishment, the pleasures and the potency of on-the-spot social reportage - Sunday Times Choice

A delicately patterned novel about the heroic search for happiness and its ultimate fragility. The comfortable middle-class setting and faintly fairytale ending belie a portrait of family life in which concealment and compromise are never far away. Quietly moving - Financial Times

Sublime ... While the engrossing story gradually builds to the urgency of a thriller, it is the richly drawn characters who provide the novel's enduring pleasure ... a brilliantly entertaining satire - Sunday Times

This satire has many strengths - not least of all making the crash understandable to those (like me and, as we now know, bankers) who did not understand it. And there are countless moments of excellence - The Times

Very cleverly put together, and funny as well - William Leith, Evening Standard

Caustic and entertaining - Independent

Cartwright builds his enjoyably satirical comedy of manners ... Cartwright is a sophisticated enough writer to make the predictability of these characters seem like part of the joke, as if to underline the moribund nature of the world he depicts ... a well-paced and absorbing read - Alex Clark, Guardian

Shady dealings at a venerable family bank provide the backdrop for a masterful chronicle of the way we live now - Observer
