About this book

'The Great Tontine' is a charming novel that analyzes the world of financial speculation, morality, and literary publishing. The story is set against the backdrop of a tontine investment scheme, the story weaves intricate plots and self-reflexive elements. The novel analyzes the boundaries between legitimate and illegitimate financial ventures, much like Dickens’s examination of a Ponzi scheme in Little Dorrit.
