A divided Las Vegas family is forced to confront the past and reckon with a dangerous future in the searing new novel from Irvine Welsh.

Molly and George Warburton are used to living life their own way. Now, in the ferocious heat of Sin City, the couple are facing up to their failures and final years.

They announce that their grandson Luke – college dropout, aspiring writer, electronic dance music aficionado – will inherit their millions. It is sudden news that leaves their daughter Gina hell-bent on revenge.

Yet Luke’s good fortune will not last. When a strange newcomer to the neighbourhood insinuates himself into the Warburtons’ world, it is the beginning of a chain of chilling events that could split the family permanently and put all their lives at risk.

The question is, do they have what it takes to survive?

Kritikerstimmen

An epic American family saga . . . This is a bold and ambitious work, in which Welsh deftly shifts point of view with confidence and conviction . . . expansive, compelling and heartfelt . . . a literary triumph
A new book by Irvine Welsh is always an event . . . No living author is as entertaining to read
In his portrayal of family and city, Welsh clearly intends them to encapsulate a dying America – the other sense of the title’s ‘Us’ . . . [A] state-of-the-union satire
So propulsive . . . about as much fun as you can have between two book covers
Can Nothing Save Us? is a big American novel and applies the same sharp-eyed realism that Trainspotting brought to working-class Edinburgh to Trump’s US. Set in the scorching heat of Las Vegas, it’s a multigenerational thriller
Powerful . . . A bracing and engaging read
