Beginning eight years ago on the outskirts of Birmingham, where car factories have been replaced by Poundland, and London, where frenzied riots give way to Olympic fever, Middle England follows a brilliantly vivid cast of characters through a time of immense change.

Their own personal Brexit
Revisado: 09-30-21
I thoroughly enjoyed how Coe intertwined private an public events into a genuinely relatable set of characters. Set against a backdrop of handful charicature characters (Coriander, Helena) and events (the murder of Jo Cox, the 2011 riots) and their sheer mindless brutality, the lives of Benjamin and friends stand out as a more subtle take on Brexit and its impact on their private world. I loved Coe's sympathetic portrayal of an ageing man who looks back at his life and still sees a future amidst uncertainty. The whole story seems to revolve around uncertainty and ambiguity (political, sentimental) and I think this is where its honesty and its strength lie.
