Middle England by Jonathan Coe
3.0
--- 3.5 stars ---
My first "Brexit novel", not that I was actively searching for one. You don't need to have read the two previous Rotters' Club novels to understand this one, but you do need knowledge of UK politics (and political events of the past decade) and be familiar with British culture and psyche, which isn't surprising as Coe often writes very British characters with very British lives, problems and desires.
A solid book which I enjoyed very much, although not as much as some of his other novels. Jonathan Coe never disappoints.
