Intrigue, romance, reversals of fortune, and the question of the good life are at the heart of Spanish Light, Stephen Grant's enthralling new novel about the 2008 global economic crisis and its aftermath. Set in England and Spain, it is the extraordinary tale of a renegade London banker whose quest for personal redemption takes an unexpected turn when he falls for a Spanish philosopher-activist and finds himself embroiled in an ostensibly unwinnable battle against a corrupt government.
