A review by juliachilver
Middle England by Jonathan Coe

4.0

I read this book because it came up as an ad on Facebook. (Gosh, have I been manipulated by Russians?) and it’s cover was similar to All Among the Barley by Melissa Harrison. (I preferred her book but I have ordered this author’s first book , where these characters were developed.)

Was this fiction or journalism? I couldn’t quite decide. Very well observed anti-Brexit rant, which appealed to my politics. I enjoyed it overall, except for the description of a young woman with pouting lips, breasts spilling sexlessly from her vest top.
