` It was tempting to think, at times like this, that some bizarre hysteria had gripped the British people` Beginning eight years ago on the outskirts of Birmingham, where car factories have been replaced by Poundl&, & London, where frenzied riots give way to Olympic fever, Middle England follows a brilliantly vivid cast of characters through a time of immense change. There are newlyweds Ian & Sophie, who disagree about the future of the country &, possibly, the future of their relationship; Doug, the political commentator who writes impassioned columns about austerity from his Chelsea townhouse, & his radical teenage daughter who will stop at nothing in her quest for social justice; Benjamin Trotter, who embarks on an apparently doomed new career in middle age, & his father Colin, whose last wish is to vote in the European referendum. & within all these lives is the story of modern England: a story of nostalgia & delusion; of bewilderment & barely-suppressed rage. Following in the footsteps of The Rotters` Club & The Closed Circle, Jonathan Coe`s new novel is the novel for our strange new times. ...

When Canadian brothers Colin & Ryan Pyle set out from Shanghai on a motorcycle journey that had never previously been attempted, they thought they had some idea of what lay ahead of them. It was a misconception that had become evident by the end of Day 1. But, despite the many challenges they faced, 65 days & 18, 000 km later they'd succeeded in circumnavigating China. In an expedition of extremes, Colin & Ryan visited the third lowest point on Earth & slept at Everest Base Camp beside its highest mountain. They travelled off-road through deep desert sand in suffocating heat, traversed mountain passes in freezing temperatures that turned the moisture in their clothes to ice, & rode in torrential rain through mudslides beside rapidly rising flood waters. At the end of their remarkable journey, the brothers has strengthened the bond between them, gained a Guinness World Record, tested their endurance to its limits, & shared an adventure that most of us will only ever dream of having. In this book Colin & Ryan take us with them as they travel through the diverse & extraordinary landscapes of China, from its border with North Korea, to the ancient Muslin city of Kashgar, across the vast empty spaces of the Mongolian grasslands, over the mountains & into the monasteries of Tibet. ...
