Netherland by Joseph O'Neill
4.0

Netherland had been showing up in a lot of lists of top books of the last 10 years so I wanted to give it a read. I thought it was excellent. Tells a story of a young family torn apart by the post 9/11 world. The family moved to New York from London and were there for the 9/11 attacks. Wife decides to leave and go back to London. The story is told mostly from Hans perspective as he copes with a New York life filled with loneliness, investment banking, cricket and new experiences.
