Costa Best Novel Award 2019 Winner.

It was tempting to think, at times like this, that some bizarre hysteria had gripped the British people.
Beginning eight years ago on the outskirts of Birmingham, where car factories have been replaced by Poundland, and London, where frenzied riots give way to Olympic fever, Middle England follows a brilliantly vivid cast of characters through a time of immense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.

There are newlyweds Ian and Sophie, who disagree about the future of the country and, possibly, the future of their relationship; Doug, the political commentator who writes impassioned columns about austerity from his Chelsea townhouse, and his radical teenage daughter who will stop at nothing in her quest for social justice; Benjamin Trotter, who embarks on an apparently doomed new career in middle age, and his father, Colin, whose last wish is to vote in the European referendum. And within all these lives is the story of modern England: a story of nostalgia and delusion, of bewilderment and barely suppressed rage.

Middle England is read by Rory Kinnear.

Following in the footsteps of The Rotters' Club and The Closed Circle, Jonathan Coe's new novel is the novel for our strange new times.

Opinie krytyków

Brilliantly funny . . . a compelling state of the nation novel, full of light and shade, which vividly charts modern Britain's tragicomic slide
Expansive and often very funny . . . Coe - a writer of uncommon decency - reminds us that the way out of this mess is through moderation, through compromise, through that age-old English ability to laugh at ourselves
A pertinent, entertaining study of a nation in crisis ('Books of the Year')
His affectionately witty attitude to our human foibles is always uplifting . . . Superb
In Middle England, Coe shows an understanding of this country that goes beyond what most cabinet ministers can muster . . . he subtly builds a picture that exposes the cracks in society . . . he is a master of satire but pokes fun subtly, without ever being cruel, biting or blatant . . . his light, funny writing makes you feel better
Tackling his characters' opposing points of view, he draws a portrait of a recognisable Britain baffled by its loss of industry and jobs, and of everyday people shocked by a rise of acceptable racism and xenophobia. It's also very, very funny
Millions of words have been and will be written on Brexit but few will get to the heart of why it is happening as incisively as Middle England (John Boyne)
This is a picture of England that comes from a place of compassion and understanding
Coe is as funny and tender as ever, restoring some humanity to the tumultuous societal backdrop
Middle England combines top-class soap opera storytelling with melancholy insight into what it means to be English

The beloved cast of books 1 and 2 sounded quite depressed. I’d welcome a new audiobook production performed by former narrator Colin Buchanan.

As a non-native-speaker I wanted to understand England and the Brexit. The book helped me. I was fascinated by the characters and their stories.

Sowohl Sprecher als auch Handlung haben mir sehr gut gefallen. Das Hörbuch war fesselnd, ich fühlte mich als Zaungast, der ganz unterschiedliche Teile der englischen Gesellschaft kennenlernen konnte.

Ein Genuss

Ein fantastisches Buch was jeder lesen (noch besser hören) sollte. Es beschreibt die Situation in England so genau warum es zum Brexit kam, und hilft auch zu verstehen wie gespalten die Bevölkerung ist.

sehr gutes Buch
