Description
Brexit is unravelling.
Amid the turmoil of plots, government defeats, resignations and riots, the
United Kingdom's choice to leave the European Union and make its own way in the
world has left the country more fractured than ever. At the heart of the chaos
is Alan, a special adviser to a government minister; Mitra, a Labour MP; Jenny,
a TV news producer; and Davey, a UKIP activist. Each will struggle to keep
control of their own lives as they navigate a political environment that
becomes more aggressive and unpredictable by the day.
This sweeping novel
takes its characters from the streets of Westminster to decaying towns, from
the dingiest of pool halls to the heart of No. 10, and finally brings them all
together for a debate in front of a live audience during the 2019 election.
That night, there is more at stake than just politics; at least one of them is
in real danger. Will they all survive - and if they do, will they be able to
start draining some of the poison from the political world they now inhabit?
