About this audiobook
Bloomsbury presents Entitlement by Rumaan Alam, read by Nicole Lewis
From the bestselling author of Leave the World Behind – ‘the book of an era’ (Independent) – a biting tale for our new gilded age
‘A slow-burn tale of connivance and deceit with a knockout ending’ OBSERVER
Money talks. But what if it lies?
An ambitious young Black woman, plotting her way into the world of the one percent. An old white billionaire, facing his own extinction.
He’s attracted to her intelligence, her refusal to be deferential, maybe also her Blackness. She’s drawn to his power and money – and his apparent willingness to share both with her.
But how far is each prepared to go to get what they think they deserve?
