Over the next six weeks leading up to the 2016 winner’s announcement, we’ll be featuring a sample from each book on this year’s brilliant shortlist. Next up is Hannah Rothschild’s fiction debut The Improbability of Love, an irresistible jaunt into the tumultuous London art world, populated by exiled Russian oligarchs, avaricious Sheikas, desperate auctioneers and unscrupulous dealers.
Sit back, relax, kick off your shoes (maybe even pour yourself a cheeky Baileys) and enjoy the first chapter of The Improbability of Love.
