Jonathan Coe's "Middle England" (published 8 November 2018) is a state-of-the-nation novel which re-introduces some of the author's earlier characters from "The Rotters' Club" (2001) and "The Closed Circle" (2004), and moves from the election of the coalition government in 2010, through the riots of 2011, the 2012 Olympics, the 2016 referendum and its aftermath, ending in 2018.
