A date is set for the UK's Referendum on the EU – and Sophie and Ian realise they don’t see eye to eye. Read by Jeff Rawle. From 2018.
2016 - David Cameron sets a date for the EU Referendum, and then Sophie and Ian realise they're very much on opposing sides of the debate.
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Car factories have been replaced by pound shops, and in London riots give way to Olympic fever, Middle England follows a Britain through a time of mind-boggling change.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.
Read by Jeff Rawle.
