| Résumé : |
The novel follows a group of characters previously introduced in Jonathan Coe’s earlier books (The Rotters’ Club and The Closed Circle). The story spans the years 2010 to 2018, a period marked by deep political and social upheaval in the United Kingdom.
Through the lives of Benjamin Trotter, his sister Lois, their circle of friends, and the younger generation, Coe explores the fractures running through British society. Themes such as identity, immigration, and the country’s future are central. The narrative revolves around the Brexit referendum, which divides families, couples, and friendships, mirroring the nation’s tensions between openness and isolation, tradition and modernity. Jonathan Coe delivers both a social and political satire and a moving chronicle of personal lives, blending intimate human stories with major historical events. |
