The Quincunx
Charles Palliser
The Quincunx is a sprawling novel that takes readers on a journey through 19th-century English society. The protagonist, unaware of his own hidden past, encounters a host of intriguing characters and navigates twisted family trees and plot lines. The novel's use of the quincunx as a symbolic figure adds to its complexity and depth. At five times the length of an ordinary novel, it is an extraordinary adventure that will keep readers engaged from start to finish.

@matthewclifford Just read The Quincunx - absolutely brilliant. And The Kingdom is wonderful too - have you read Carrere's book on Phillip K Dick? – source
