Krátky popis
From the bestselling, award-winning author of Middle England comes
a profoundly moving, brutally funny and brilliantly true portrait
of Britain told through four generations of one familyIn
Bournville, a placid suburb of Birmingham, sits a famous chocolate
factory. For eleven-year-old Mary and her family in 1945, it's the
centre of the world. The reason their streets smell faintly of
chocolate, the place where most of their friends and neighbours
have worked for decades.Mary will go on to live through the
Coronation and the World Cup final, royal weddings and royal
funerals, Brexit and Covid-19. She'll have children and
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Parts of the chocolate
factory will be transformed into a theme park, as modern life and
the city crowd in on their peaceful enclave.As we travel through
seventy-five years of social change, from James Bond to Princess
Diana, and from wartime nostalgia to the World Wide Web, one
pressing question starts to emerge: will these changing times bring
Mary's family - and their country - closer together, or leave them
more adrift and divided than ever before?Bournville is a rich and
poignant new novel from the bestselling, Costa award-winning author
of Middle England. It is the story of a woman, of a nation's love
affair with chocolate, of Britain itself. 'A wickedly funny,
clever, but also tender and lyrical novel about Britain and
Britishness and what we have become' Rachel Joyce'It is miraculous
how, in his new novel, Coe has created a social history of postwar
Britain as we are still living it.Bournville is a beautiful, and
often very funny, tribute to an underexamined place and also a
truly moving story of how a country discovered tolerance' Sathnam
Sanghera, bestselling author of Empireland
