PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Jonathan Coe is the author of thirteen novels, all published by Penguin, which include the highly acclaimed bestsellers What a Carve Up!, The House of Sleep, The Rotters' Club, Number 11 and Middle England, which won the Costa Novel of the Year Award and the Prix du Livre Europeen. He is also the author of a biography of B.S Johnson, Like a Fiery Elephant, and The Broken Mirror, a children's book.
Coe - a writer of uncommon decency - reminds us that the way out of this mess is through moderation, through compromise, through that age-old English ability to laugh at ourselves * Observer on Middle England * A pertinent, entertaining study of a nation in crisis * Financial Times on Middle England * Middle England is a full-blooded state of the nation novel, and it brings us bang up-to-date * Sunday Times on Middle England *
