批評家のレビュー
"The personalities in Money Power Love are shaped by the world around them, turning good and bad as circumstances dictate; showing us their strengths, and showing us their frailties. It's breath-taking, literally, because it touches upon the very core of our humanity." (The Huffington Post)
"Not so much a novel, more an extended allegory on love trumping power and money, Joss Sheldon's tale also gives us the birth of banking and a potted history of the first half of the nineteenth century-all with wit and humour." (The Tribune)
"Adventures come thick and fast... in picaresque fashion... (It) deals with matters of consequence... (with) a message worth dwelling on." (Scottish Left Review)
あらすじ・解説
The number one best seller the establishment doesn't want you to hear!
Our three heroes are born on three adjacent beds, a mere three seconds apart. United by a shared nature, they often feel each other’s emotions as if those emotions are their own.
When a fire burns through their homes, killing their families, they are cast apart. Mayer is adopted by a wealthy couple, Archibald by a loving uncle and aunt, and Hugo is dumped in the workhouse.
They finally reunite many years later, only to fall in love with the very same woman at the very same time, feeling each other’s love as if it is their own. But turned into three very different people by three very different upbringings, they court her in very different ways.
The consequences are extreme, inspiring our heroes to spend their lives chasing money, power, and love in the vain hope that these things will help them to win the girl. We romp through history, watching as bankers create money out of nothing and the British Empire takes over the world, before arriving at the most exhilarating of finales.
This is a story that will make you laugh, cry, cringe, smile, scream, and shout. It truly is a modern masterpiece, unlike anything you’ve ever listened to before....
