annarella 's review for:
Bournville
by Jonathan Coe
A brilliant and intriguing book, the story of Britain told by Mary, a woman living in Bournevell. It's not an easy review because I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, loved Mary, and learned a lot about moments and how the social changes since the end of WWII.
I also learned about Bourneville, a sort of utopian town build in the XIX century by Cadbury brothers.
Jonathan Coe is a master storyteller and the characters are lively and intriguing. I loved Mary, loved her being down to the hearth and her will to live and face her life-threatening illness as my mother.
It's a fascinating book that helped me to understand how history and people changed.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine
