Another punchy, poignant, political novel from Brown. The plot is short and razor-sharp yet remains oh-so expansive in the themes it expertly tackles. Universality is a snow-globe of 2020's Britain and Brown offers our political, financial and classes institutions nowhere to hide. Playing with multiple perspectives and a twisted layered storyline, the book remains engaging and accessible. This is one I will be re-reading.
