Campbell Flynn, art historian, professor, and fêted fixture of the literati, always knew that when his life came crashing down, it would happen in public-yet he never imagined that a single year in London would expose so much.
He's never taken other people half as seriously as they take themselves, which is the first of his mistakes. The second is a new project: opportunistic and precisely calibrated to rake in a fortune. Riding on the high of a best-selling biography of Vermeer and fielding more inquiries and requests than he has the time or patience to pursue, Campbell has nevertheless still not managed to shake the question of money. The fact of his quiet loan from a school friend now embroiled in scandal makes the ever-present worry feel even more pressing. His unflappable agent, Atticus; his steadfast wife, Elizabeth; his sister, Moira, crusading parliamentarian for the poor; his well-adjusted, well-off adult children, Angus and Kenzie; and all the outward trappings of success can't conceal that something in his life is off.
As Campbell becomes increasingly entangled with a brilliant student, convention-smashing and working class, like he used to be, he feels he's been given a second chance to embrace the change that frightens him, even as he sees trouble brewing for his family and friends. Campbell's personal quest takes him down darker roads than he could have imagined, and all his worlds-the art scene and academia, fashion and the English aristocracy, journalism and the internet-collide in spectacular fashion, culminating in one shocking night on Caledonian Road.

Captivating and compelling
"Caledonian Road" is a compelling and poignant novel that explores the intersections of identity, class, and belonging in contemporary London. O'Hagan weaves together personal struggles, cultural tensions, and the complexities of modern life, compiling them into a vivid portrait of urban existense and the invisible lines that can divide and unite communities. With rich prose and keen socian insight, O'Hagan captures the essence of a city in flux, balancing personal narratives with broader societal themes.
