About this listen

What do you do when your wife takes your child and leaves you alone in a city of ghosts?

Dutch banker Hans ver den Broek chooses cricket. But New York cricket is a long way from the tranquil sport he grew up with. It's a rough, almost secret game, played in scrubby marginal urban parks by people the city doesn’t see - people like Chuck Ramkissoon.

Years later, when a body is pulled out of a New York canal, Hans is forced to remember his unusual friendship with Chuck - dreamer, visionary, and perhaps something darker...

Critic Reviews

"I'm reading this book called Netherland by Joseph O'Neill … it's fascinating. It's a wonderful book" (Barack Obama)
All stars
Most relevant  
While the headline is a cliche, this thoroughly engaging novel is anything but a cliche. Through the lens of cricket O'Neil reveals a New York I never knew existed. I loved his voice, style and wit. I really enjoyed this one.
