Set in the raw, Victorian world of the »Five Towns»,
The Card tells the extremely funny and tangled story of Denry Machin»s rise from mediocrity to fame through a series of ludicrous and yet perversely successful schemes.

As everybody said after one of his most stylish coups, Denry »was not simply a card; he was
