One of Us is a novel based around the Fitzmaurices, a wealthy family, whose seemingly perfect life comes unravelling throughout the book. The father is the Tory energy secretary, bidding to become the next PM, yet his daughter opposes everything he does and joins an environmental activist group. As the plot unfolds it becomes a thriller-esque whodunnit, whilst keeping the satirical message on family dynamics, politics and abuse of power. It’s a funny and easy read, and one that I’m sure will sell well for summer holidays when it comes out in paperback.
