readingrara 's review for:

Bournville by Jonathan Coe
3.0
lighthearted reflective relaxing slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

At times this story in an unconvincing collection of clichés following a family through a series of significant, patriotic moments but the ending kind of endeared me to the characters. A mild, amusing diversion.
