MIDDLE ENGLAND / COE, JONATHAN

Título : MIDDLE ENGLAND Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: COE, JONATHAN Editorial: LONDON : VIKING Fecha de publicación: 2018 Número de páginas: 423 ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-241-98368-3 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: FICTION Resumen: Beginning eight years ago on the outskirts of Birmingham, where car factories have been replaced by Poundland, and London, where frenzied riots give way to Olympic fever, Middle England follows a brilliantly vivid cast of characters through a time of immense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.

THE CLOSED CIRCLE / COE, JONATHAN

Título : THE CLOSED CIRCLE Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: COE, JONATHAN, Autor Editorial: NEW YORK : VINTAGE BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2006 Número de páginas: 367 p. ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-375-71395-8 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: FICTION  LEGISLATORS  ADULTERY  BROTHERS  BIRMINGHAM (ENGLAND)  LONDON (ENGLAND) Resumen: It's the end of the century and Benjamin Trotter and friends are all grown up. Life is a ceaseless whirl of jobs, marriages, kids - and self-inflicted angst. Despite the shiny optimism of Blair's Britain, youthful hopes and dreams feel betrayed. Is the Government (and by extension Benjamin's MP brother Paul) to blame? Or are the 'rotters' themselves - only passingly faithful to their dreams - really at fault? The Closed Circle - sequel to The Rotters' Club - depicts a group of former school friends as older, wiser and disillusioned in Blair's Britain at the turn of the millennium. It proves that the present can never truly be disentangled from the past.
