- Summary
- A "novel in verse that inspired the ... West End and Off-Broadway play of the same name, [this book] follows the epic rise and fall of three generations of [the Lehman] family and through them tells the story of American ambition and hubris"--Publisher marketing.
- " ... Spanning three generations and 150 years, The Lehman Trilogy is a moving epic that dares to tell the story of modern capitalism through the saga of the Lehman brothers and their descendants. Surprising and exciting, brilliant and inventive, Stefano Massini's masterpiece--like Hamilton--is a story of immigration, ambition, and success; it is the story of America itself from a daring and original perspective."--
