The Wake by Paul Kingsnorth
3.0
2 / 4 : If you have time, read
[Doomed Buccmaster of Holland terrorizes the foreigners swarming his country]
Plot is Mel Gibson's 'Braveheart' but the gimmick of its 'shadow language' (Old English amended until intelligible to modern speakers) pays off, giving the book a simple charm in its descriptions and broad characterizations.
Politically, The Wake is essentially Brexit: the Book.
I listened to a narration by Simon Vance
