` He looks like a Brit, this guy. Full of good intentions & bad ideas`. Straddling two continents & two centuries, Patrick Neate`s ” Jerusalem” is a sweeping & hilarious epic of English misadventures abroad & at home. It features a self-serving MP lost & alone in an African dictatorship; a young, ultra-hip entrepreneur looking for something (or someone) new to exploit; &, an English veteran of a colonial war trying to save England from itself. With a host of other brilliant & brilliantly drawn characters, this is the funniest & most moving story of Englishness as it never was, isn`t now &, hopefully, will never be.
