By Jonathan Coe
Never one to shy away from ambitious themes, the author of The Rotters’ Club and Middle England now brings us a novel spanning 75 years of postwar Britain. Set in Coe’s native Midlands and told through the lives of four generations of one family, beginning with 11-year-old Mary in 1945, Bournville is a poignant, clever and witty portrait of social change and how the British see themselves.
