Tale of a Useful Idiot - synopsis
Stephanie Reynolds (22) is looking for an ideology; something to believe in. What she finds is fakes - Eton educated anarchists with mansions, the easily manipulated, people who want to belong, and the craziest plot to blow up a housing estate going.Â
Set against the backdrop of the 2008 financial crash, Tale of a Useful idiot is a darkly humerous novel about youthful desire for change being manipulated, and discovering the "radical change" and sense of belonging you need might not be in politics and ideologies, but in the people around you.
