Rule Britannia; A Novel by Daphne du Maurier
5.0
Brexit has gone tits up and the Americans are taking over!
This book was written in the 70s, shortly after we joined the EU but it's suddenly very topical. We follow a young woman named Emma who awakes to the sound of helicopters and finds marines advancing up the field towards her house. She lives with her granny, a retired actress, and her seven unruly adopted sons. At times it's like a cross between Wise Children and the Bashstreet Kids as they enlist a hermit and some farmers to fight the invasion!
Weird, funny and very British. I found myself loving it.
