Never have i given less than 3 stars for a novel.  I would normally just DNF, but I struggled through this.  Lousy writing, bad storytelling. Minimal characterizations.  I wanted to read a novel about Brexit, but this one was not at all thoughtful.  The events are here, but there are far too many generalizations about groups of people and characters do not stand out as real people.  Such a disappointment.
