In early 2006, Chuck Ramkissoon is found dead at the bottom of a New York canal. In London, a Dutch banker named Hans van den Broek hears the news, & remembers his unlikely friendship with Chuck & the off-kilter New York in which it flourished: the New York of 9/11, the powercut & the Iraq war. Those years were difficult for Hans
- his English wife Rachel left with their son after the attack, as if that event revealed the cracks & silences in their marriage, & he spent two strange years in New York's Chelsea Hotel, passing stranger evenings with the eccentric residents. Lost in a country he'd regarded as his new home, Hans sought comfort in a most alien place
- the thriving but almost invisible world of New York cricket, in which immigrants from Asia & the West Indies play a beautiful, mystifying game on the city's most marginal parks. It was during these games that Hans befriends Chuck Ramkissoon, who dreamed of establishing the city's first proper cricket field. Over the course of a summer, Hans grew to share Chuck's dream & Chuck's sense of American possibility
- until he began to glimpse the darker meaning of his new friend's activities & ambitions. ' Netherland' is a novel of belonging & not belonging, & the uneasy state in between. It is a novel of a marriage foundering & recuperating, & of the shallows & depths of male friendship. With it, Joseph O' Neill has taken the anxieties & uncertainties of our new century & fashioned a work of extraordinary beauty & brilliance.
