«Middle England» is Jonathan Coe's satirical novel, published by Penguin Books in paperback, with 432 pages, in English.
The novel follows a varied group of characters in Brexit-referendum England: newlyweds Ian and Sophie, political commentator Doug and his teenage daughter, and Benjamin Trotter with his elderly father. Coe portrays the bewilderment, nostalgia and suppressed anger of a divided country.
Third instalment of The Rotters' Club series and winner of the Costa Novel Award 2019 in the novel category.
Aimed at readers of contemporary and political fiction interested in recent England and the pre-Brexit climate, with Coe's satirical humour.
Jonathan Coe is an English novelist and writer. His work has an underlying preoccupation with political issues, although this serious engagement is often expressed comically in the form of satire. For example, What a Carve Up! (1994) reworks the plot of an old 1960s spoof horror film of the same name. It is set within the "carve up" of the UK's resources that was carried out by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative governments of the 1980s.
