Netherland by Joseph O'Neill
Hans, a banker from Holland, lives in New York City just after 9/11. His wife has taken their son back to England, her homeland. Adopted by his fellow cricket players, Hans gets drawn into the world of Chuck Ramkissoon. Chuck is a small time dreamer & gangster with high hopes for cricket in NYC.
This immigrant tale has been compared to The Great Gatsby because of its elegant prose. It's lovely with wit and bite. I recommend it highly.
