Sophie hears ‘home truths’ from a group of Middle Englanders when she goes on a cruise.
Jonathan Coe's satirical novel about Brexit Britain.
Abridged by Richard Hamilton.
Car factories have been replaced by pound shops, and in London riots give way to Olympic fever, Middle England follows a Britain through a time of mind-boggling change.
It paints a portrait of modern England up to Brexit: a country of nostalgia and delusion; of bewilderment and barely-suppressed rage.
Read by Jeff Rawle.
Producer: Justine Willett
