A review by millypip
Middle England by Jonathan Coe

3.0

The Rotter’s club has bumbled into middle age in middle England. While the country is upheaved by Brexit, Doug finds he has become estranged from the values of his youth,and his daughter. Benjamin learns to accept his failures (and successes). Louis barely makes an appearance at all. Middle England is easy to read but lacks the spark of Coe’s earlier novels. Ironically, it’s full of the moral preachiness that it’s characters decry.
