Description
Jonathan Coe's brilliant, compassionate, and formally perfect novel uses the Brexit crisis as the backdrop for another of his carefully observed portrayals of British social and political life across generations—returning to the characters he has followed across several decades and examining, with his characteristic combination of humor and genuine political intelligence, what Brexit means for the people who have to live through it. Written with the novelistic intelligence and the deep love for his country's contradictions that make him one of the essential chroniclers of contemporary British life, this is essential reading. A genuinely important novel.
