Anyone wanting to read a Jonathan Coe novel would be best advised to read The Rotters' Club, The Closed Circle or What a Carve-up! Middle England is predictable and the plot is little more than the characters' reactions to various events in the UK since 2010. Brexit features heavily in the story and the "leave" voters are all predictable caricatures. Coe has written much better stuff than this.

Great read.

Coe writes from the gut as well as the head and heart - it is scathingly contemporary with a hint of nostalgia for times past
