A review by paulsnelling
Middle England by Jonathan Coe

4.0

New to Jonathon Coe, I initially found sone of the characters to be lazy stereotypes, mouthpieces for received Brexit views, effectively lampooned. It was a therapist who reminded us that the disagreements run deep because they concern a gulf in values rather than mere opinions. But there was a weight and development to the principals and it didn’t matter that they were making reappearances, likeable enough that I’ll be seeking out the earlier volumes. Amusing and thought provoking, and not just about the Brexit debacle.
