Middle England by Jonathan Coe
5.0
I really enjoyed this book.
It is a very interesting accout of the years before and just after Brexit and shows very well the whole atmosphere, taking a small group of people as examples.
I particularly liked that it did not split the characters into good and bad or reasonable and unreasonable, but showed them as people with doubts and emotions. It managed to avoid the trap of judgement, which is always easy with that kind of topic.
