London 2012 sees Coalition banter in the Rose Garden, the aftermath of the riots and Olympic fever kicks off.

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Car factories have been replaced by pound shops, and in London riots give way to Olympic fever, Middle England follows a Britain through a time of mind-boggling change.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.
