In Julian Barnes' novel, a visionary tycoon seeks to create a perfect replica of England on the Isle of Wight. Tourists can find replicas of Big Ben, Princess Di's grave, and even Harrod's. Martha Cochrane, hired as one of Sir Jack's resident "no-people," helps him realize his dream. But when this land of make-believe gets out of hand, Martha develops her own vision of the perfect England. A philosophical reflection on authenticity and nationality.

Julian Patrick Barnes is an English essayist, novelist and short story writer.
