Description:
An evocative portrait of the financial underbelly of Victorian London. On May 10, 1866, Quaker-run London bank Overend and Gurney collapsed, unleashing a catastrophe that was felt throughout the world. Amid a scandal that was the Victorian equivalent of Enron, Geoffrey Elliott paints a picture of greed and corruption and true-life characters that could have come from a Dickens novel.
Geoffrey Elliott lives in Bermuda.
