Echo Chamber, The
Boyne, JohnThe Cleverleys are the perfect family you love to hate. At first glance, successful and influential and at second glance, well... not quite. George is an obnoxious BBC radio host and Beverley, a romance writer, is a snob of the highest order. And then there are their three adult children, Nelson, Elizabeth and Achilles.
When Elizabeth's latest desperate attempt to be a social media influencer goes awry there is chaos, and as the family's lives unravel, readers have a front row seat to a world controlled by social media.
A thought-provoking and satirical delight.
