A review by schopflin
Bournville by Jonathan Coe
fast-paced
3.5
For the first 50 pages or so I thought this book was trite and simplistic and I wondered why I once thought Jonathan Coe such a brilliant comic novelist, capable of both satire and empathy. Then I got drawn in and couldn't put it down. There was brilliant satire and lots of moving stuff too.
